Due to reduce the achievement gap between the students, German secondary schools are gradually transforming from three to two-branched system. This reform allows students to change their career trucking more flexible for getting higher qualifications, while student evaluation system still keeps three different qualifications: 1) Berufsreife. 2) Mittlere Reife, and 3) Hochschulreife.
