Mittlere Reife

The Mittlere Reife (German: [ˈmɪtləʁə ˈʁaɪfə], lit. "Middle Maturity") is a school-leaving certificate in Germany that is usually awarded after ten years of schooling. It is widely regarded as being broadly comparable in level to the British GCSE.

The official name varies between the federal states, including Realschulabschluss, Mittlerer Schulabschluss, Wirtschaftsschulabschluss, Qualifizierter Sekundarabschluss I, and Sekundarabschluss I – Realschulabschluss. The Mittlere Reife can be awarded through several educational pathways, including the Hauptschule, Realschule, Werkrealschule, Berufsfachschule, Wirtschaftsschule, and Gesamtschule.
