Special maturity course

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The special entrance qualification course (also: HSR course ; coll. “Rabbit Abitur”, “Bretter Abi”, “Compressed Air Abi”) was a form of the abbreviated Abitur to acquire the university entrance qualification (HSR) in the GDR . The three, later six-month rate was up in the 1960s cadets of the officers' colleges (OHS) of the NVA offered.

background

Admission to a special entrance qualification course at an OHS was not only possible for ensign students or non-commissioned officers , but also for every applicant who had completed a skilled worker training. The HSR training at the OHS of the NVA and border troops of the GDR took place from around 1973 in special classes according to the curriculum of the extended secondary schools (EOS) by civilian teachers.

However, since only half of the usual time was available for teaching the Abitur material, the subjects biology, art education and history were not taught. The main subjects were mathematics, physics, chemistry and Russian. The main subjects were offered in such a concentrated manner that the HSR course achieved the teaching quality of the EOS and vocational training with a high school diploma (2 years of vocational training, 1 year of school). The technical training took place in special cabinets, the material equipment of which embodied a very high international standard at the time. The Abitur exams were carried out according to the rules of the GDR Central Abitur without restrictions.

If, during the HSR course, the school performance was insufficient or the Abitur was not passed, the officer student concerned had to do the full 18-month basic military service after discharge from the course .

The course participants, as officers' students in their university entrance qualification , wore the sergeant's scared epaulette with an applied metal-colored Gothic 'S'. Year strips were not provided - these were only acquired from the first regular year of study at an OHS.
