01/2020  The Administration Board meeting was held on 22.1.2020. The Secretary General (SG) explained at the meeting that he has received the mandate of the Board of Governors (BoG) to ensure that all the European Schools follow the same rules. For the ESM the following topics were discussed: Admission policy: The SG referred to the particular restriction (exception) of the admission criteria of category III pupils at the ESM, put in place by the same BoG in 2010, with the reason of the lack of space at the ESM. This reason is not valid anymore since the school has now a lot of space at the two sites (Neuperlach and Fasangarten). Therefore the SG will inform the BoG at the next April meeting that the particular restriction of 2010 has to be lifted. It has to be further mentioned that the German Ministry of the BMBF is very favorable on the cancellation of...

12/2019  The application of the New Marking Scale (NMS) and of the new conversion of the new marks into the national systems started this school year 2019-20 from the current S6 classes. At present both lead to a clear downgrading, as shown in the annexes 1 and 2, provided by the Brussels Parents’ Associations. We met the new German Inspector, Mr Buchmaier, together with members of the Educational Council and students’ representatives. Mr Buchmaier understands our position and requests, in particular since the NMS stills seems to be applied incorrectly. He suggested a round table including the German Kultusministerkonferenz (KMK, responsible for the conversion to the German system), the General Secretariat and parents’ representatives. We were happy to agree to this suggestion and will send two representatives. The Joint Teaching Committee (JTC), a body at European level, had its meeting a bit earlier. The memo of their October meeting (annex 3) reports on the...
