The school experiment community school finally resulted in a school consensus between Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, SPD and CDU in North Rhine-Westphalia, with which the establishment of secondary schools was opened, at which at least up to the 6th grade is integrated. At the same time, the establishment of integrated comprehensive schools was made easier.
