After the shooting spree at a high school in the Grazer Dreierschützengasse, the National Council passed a special regulation for the graduates there on Wednesday. The students can complete the final exam positively even without an oral exam.

The annual grade in the respective subject can replace the final exam grade upon request. The corresponding application for exemption must be submitted by the end of August. The decision was made unanimously.

Oral Final Exam at Graz School Can Be Waived After Shooting Spree

Students who still wish to take individual or all oral exams can do so as planned. The exams can be taken – in consultation with the examination board – either before the summer holidays or in the first supplementary session in the fall.

The background for the measure is a shooting spree that occurred at the school last week. A former student killed nine students and a teacher. The act has left deep scars, especially among the graduating class students.
