Connect a school move with learning status
A school move does not automatically close subject gaps. Before changing, check whether curricula, language sequences or course progress differ. A short transition plan can prevent an organisational restart and academic gap from becoming a double burden.
The right school matters. Preparing the academic entry matters too.
