Overview
- The centrally set math test for 10th graders, scheduled for Thursday, was declared ungradable after an individual school allowed the test tasks to become known beforehand.
- The Bavarian Ministry of Education told all state and state‑recognized Gymnasien that grades for the 2026/27 year cannot be given and that results should not be sent to the ministry.
- Schools were advised to use the published test material only for ungraded internal learning checks so teachers can find topics to reteach and to support individual students.
- The ministry will hold intensive talks with the unnamed school involved and said it will investigate the procedural failures that allowed the leak to occur.
- About 37,000 pupils at roughly 430 Gymnasien were affected and the incident revives concerns about exam security after a similar leak forced cancellation of a 2025 year‑group test in English.
