Majority Skipped Oral Matura After Graz Rampage

Only three out of a total of 87 graduates from BORG Dreierschützengasse in Graz, which was affected by a rampage in June, took the oral Matura exam. A legislative amendment by the National Council allowed the students to forgo the oral Matura due to the exceptional situation. For their final assessment, only the written Matura, which was taken before the rampage, could be used.

The Education Directorate of Styria confirmed on Thursday a corresponding report by the "Standard", according to which only two students out of 81 admitted to the main exam took an oral exam in English. Additionally, one student took an oral Matura in English at the beginning of October. None of the six students admitted in the fall took an oral exam.
