The secondary school in Bremen came into being when the general state school system in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen was reclassified into a two-tier system in 2010 . The school system then consists of the levels of elementary school as well as secondary schools (mostly up to grade 10 or 12) and grammar schools (up to grade 12).

There are 41 secondary schools in the state of Bremen.

The secondary school in the Bremen school system

The schoolsystem

By August 1, 2011, all school centers , district schools and comprehensive schools in Bremen are to be converted into secondary schools by year. The vast majority of the pupils in the lower secondary level will attend secondary school in the future. After the four-year elementary school , the secondary school comprises grades 5 to 12. A continuity of all grades should be guaranteed. All students have a legal right to a place in the upper level of their school if they perform well. A smooth transition should also be guaranteed at those high schools whose upper level is not under their own roof. To this end, the respective schools coordinate the curricula and profiles, exchange teachers and inform each other about the performance of the students.

A maximum of 25 students should study per class. The teaching team with two class leaders accompanies the year from grades 5 to 10.

The courses leading to the Abitur should meet the requirements of the grammar school. The Oberschule usually leads to the Abitur after 13 years (Gymnasium after 12 years). An educational program can also be set up that leads to the Abitur after just 12 years. Pupils who want to switch to the introductory phase of the upper secondary school after grade 9 receive additional lessons in German, foreign language, natural sciences, politics and society as well as mathematics in grades 7 to 9. In grades 5 to 10, there should be an average of 31 to 32 lessons per week.

Overview of the process from grades 5 to 12

  • Secondary level I.
    • Class 5 and 6: teaching of all subjects in association.
    • Grades 7 and 8: Maths, German and natural sciences are differentiated according to E (extension) and G (basic) level.
    • Grades 9 and 10: At least two of the subjects mathematics, German and one natural sciences are at E level
  • Upper secondary level: upper secondary school level
    • Grade 11 and 12: introductory phase and qualification phase for high school graduation

Differentiated learning

In the Bremen Ordinance on Secondary Level I of the Oberschule, § 8 Basics of Differentiation and Promotion states, among other things:

“(2) Inner differentiation is a teaching principle in all subjects because of the different learning requirements and performance abilities of the pupils in the classes and courses.

(3) The school also differentiates through 1. differentiation between subject areas, 2. compulsory elective lessons, 3. elective lessons, 4. remedial lessons. "

The different levels of performance and learning pace of the students should be addressed in the classroom with the following forms of instruction: role plays, additional learning aids, additional tasks that offer incentives, learning workshops with differentiated material offers, topic development through learning stations, learning cards, work assignments for the week, project work at different levels of ability, practice hours to deepen the content, lessons in smaller groups with z. B. Mathematics, German and natural sciences from class 7 or elective courses z. B. in a second foreign language from grades 6 to 10.

Individual support is provided through remedial lessons for learning difficulties with different offers.

Particularly talented students receive offers to work independently through e.g. B. Participation in competitions and special specialist work that transcends subject boundaries.

Evaluation of performance

The certificate regulations stipulate that achievements can be done by numerical grades or in written form. In addition to or in place of the grade certificate, the students receive their individual learning development report at the end of the school year.

Vocational technical schools (FOS)

After completing secondary school, there are various options for obtaining the Abitur. Graduates can attend dual qualification courses or the vocational high school. However, you can also attend the technical college, which leads to the technical college entrance qualification and which is followed by the vocational college, with the completion of which you also receive the general higher education entrance qualification.

History of the term Oberschule in Germany

From 1937 to 1945, grammar schools, secondary schools or upper secondary schools were renamed secondary schools in the German Reich . Only a few grammar schools, in Bremen it was only the old grammar school , kept their old name grammar school.

After the Second World War , these high schools leading to the Abitur kept their name until around 1956/57 and were then renamed to grammar schools again, such as the Oberschule am Leibnizplatz in Bremen-Neustadt , Gerhard Rohlfs Oberschule in Vegesack , the Oberschule am Barkhof in Bremen-Mitte , as well as the Lessing School in Bremerhaven - Lehe or the Wilhelm Raabe School in Bremerhaven- Geestemünde with its secondary school branch (also called branch D).

Since 1959, the Polytechnische Oberschule (POS) was the ten-class uniform school in the GDR and the Extended Oberschule (EOS) was the higher education institution leading to the Abitur; its predecessor until 1959 was called Oberschule.

In 2010, through the reform of the general education system to a two-tier system, the state of Bremen reintroduced the term secondary school, albeit with a different meaning than in the 20th century. In addition, a number of grammar schools remained, but these are no longer called secondary schools. New-type secondary schools can only include lower secondary level, but also consistently lower secondary levels I and II (upper secondary level) up to grade 12. This restructuring will be completed by the end of 2011.
