Translation
Why does the state in Germany control the school system?
- A because there are only state schools in Germany
- B because all students must have a school diploma
- C because there are different schools in the federal states
- D because it is its duty according to the Basic Law ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Article 7 of the Basic Law places the entire school system under state supervision, so the state's control rests on this constitutional mandate. It is not because only public schools exist, or because of a universal diploma requirement.
Tips
- Article 7 is the constitutional basis for state supervision of schools.
- The other options describe facts about schooling, not the actual legal reason.
