DHPS learners receive DSD certificates
Learners who attended grades 10 to 12 at the Deutsche Höhere Privatschule in Windhoek (DHPS) last year, finally have the results of their hard work in their hands: Following numerous German lessons, diligent studies and tireless efforts, the young people were awarded their German language diplomas (DSD I & II).At the handing over, representative of the German Embassy in Windhoek Clarissa Judmann, DHPS principal Kristin Eichholz, and German teachers Gerchia Louw and Thomas Wegener presented the certificates.
“With this diploma in a language as difficult as German, you have proven that you are prepared to achieve more than the average school graduate does,” Eichholz said. “The DSD is valid for a lifetime and opens important doors not only to universities in Germany but also to other study and training opportunities.”
The German Language Diploma (DSD) examinations of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany are examinations for learners of German as a foreign language at schools abroad, which are administered by the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA). DSD II is considered proof of the German language skills required for studying at a German university.
