After the rampage in Graz, numerous students from BORG Dreierschützengasse did not take the oral Matura exam.

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.

Oral Matura after Graz Rampage as an Exception

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.
