High-speed class
A high-speed class is the name given to a model or pilot project established in the early 1990s as part of the Gy8 reforms.
High- speed classes were set up in 1993 in federal states with a thirteen-year high school education . The aim was to promote the gifted students by means of their own class associations. The class model should enable a faster completion of the high school education. The division of the classes according to the presumed level of performance should ensure homogeneity in this regard . Along with the almost nationwide adjustment to the twelve-year high school, schools with high-speed classes had to look for new profiles. In Brandenburg, the high-speed classes were named performance and gifted class (LuBK)continued, since the normal primary school here is six years. In a LuBK, admission to grammar school takes place after four years. Critics pointed out that high-speed classes lead to a further selectivation of the tripartite school system . It should be emphasized that the shortening of school time was demanded primarily by the finance ministers, often against the will of the education ministers. Klomfaß evaluates the introduction of these class models as a test balloon to explore the basic acceptance of the twelve-year high school diploma.
