The Aloysius De Roosten secondary school in Eindhoven immediately dismissed a German teacher because she helped graduate students with their German exams last week. The Education Inspectorate declared the exams invalid.

Last Monday, on May 13, seventeen secondary school pupils took their central final exam for German. They were together in one classroom. Two days later, the inspectorate declared the exams invalid. The school says in a press release that research shows that the teacher who supervised some students helped to complete a number of assignments.
Goodbye
“We did a fact check, talked to the parents and had a meeting with the teacher,” says Marit Goosen, spokesperson for Our Secondary Education, of which the school is part. "The school board has immediately said goodbye to the teacher."

Again
All students now have to retake their German exam in the second period. This exam then counts as the first chance. "We regret that this incident took place," the school said.
Change
It is not the first time that a teacher has been fired for help with exams. End of last year the Koning Willem I college fired a teacher who had adjusted the exam results. Also the secondary school De Passie in Utrecht fired in 2017 a mathematics teacher who had been messing around in the math A final exams of HAVO students.
