  1. Schulpraktika an Gymnasien

    Um dem Mangel an Lehrpersonen auf der Sekundarstufe II, zurzeit in den Fächern Mathematik, Physik, Chemie, Wirtschaft, Informatik und Französisch, entgegenzuwirken, bieten die Gymnasien (BS, BL) Tutorate für Studierende der betreffenden Fächer im Masterstudium an. Die Studierenden erwerben hierfür Kreditpunkte.
