German Education System

I'm making a short presentation about the German Education System.

So.. Is it true that :

1. Students in "das Gymnasium / die Realschule / die Hauptschule" have the same teacher, for every subject, during that entire schoolyear?

2. You have to have some sort of "highscore" on your "Abschlussprüfung (Abitur)" before you can go to Uni. Or do you just have to pass the test?

Thanks in advance.

Is 1. really false??

I really thought that my german teacher once said that somewhere.. in the german education system students have the same teacher for a couple of years.. or they just had the same teacher for a long time ..

Definitely! It does not make much sense, does it?
2. The universities normally set a "numerus clausus" for every subject they offer, but altogether there is a certain limit you must reach in school lest you fail your A-Levels (Abitur)

@1
at some "hauptschule" (only hauptschule cause people don't care for these pupils) the pupils have the same teacher for several lessons/years but just if there are not enough teachers at school. which is pretty often in ger :/

only in "der grundschule" pupils have the same teacher in most subjects for 4 years...
Later in "dem gymnasium" most teachers are teaching 2 subjects and it can happen, that you have a german teacher from year 5 to year 13.

1. from the 7th - 11th grade you have a tutor that teaches 2 or more courses but you've other teachers in other courses. from the 12th grade you've different teachers in every course you visit. for the gymnasium that is, dunno about haupt-/realschule

2. yes to get your a-levels (abitur) you need to have a certain "highscore". In the 12th grade you start collecting those points in your "Grundkurse" (basic courses), which are the first part, in your "Leistungskurs" (intensive course/major field of study) which is the second part. In the 2nd semester of the 13th grade it is to be decided whether you've enough points in the 1st and 2nd part to be allowed to write your exams (the 3rd part).

In the end your a-level grade point average is calculated out of all parts.
