German recognition of IB diploma at SISS Secondary
SBS SISS Secondary has signed a special agreement with the IBO to allow German Abitur equivalency recognition of our IB Mathematics SL Courses
The German Education Ministers’ Conference (KMK) has provided confirmation that IB diplomas which include a DP mathematics course at standard level (SL) can be recognized as the “allgemeine Hochschulzugangsberechtigung” (general university entrance qualification) equivalent to the German Abitur.
The signed agreement will result in our current Year 12 students already benefiting from the change! We believe that this change will offer more of our students the opportunity to have broader access to German universities than the original, more restrictive general recognition agreement, which was announced by the KMK in March 2019.
The leadership team and Mrs Martini-Appel are confident that this new development will have a positive impact for all stakeholders of SISS Secondary.
