Thuringia: CDU parliamentary group for the abolition of the NC for primary school teachers

Erfurt (dpa/th) - According to the Thuringian CDU parliamentary group, anyone who wants to study primary school teaching should not have to show a specific Abitur grade average. "Student teachers need a culture of welcome and no rebuff," said CDU education politician Christian Tischner, according to a statement on Wednesday. He called for the numerus clausus to be lifted. Every year there are significantly more applicants than student teachers are admitted. "If we really want to bring more young teachers into the profession and fight the drop in classes, the admissions restrictions have to come down." The newspapers of Funke Medien Thuringia had previously reported about it.
