A new educational plan can begin after initial work experience.
The man in the question has a clear goal: obtaining the school qualification called the Abitur. He therefore first needs a suitable route to that qualification, rather than a university place. Of the four answers, evening secondary school fits this goal.
The second educational pathway includes different forms of provision. Evening secondary school can often be combined with employment; an adult college offers another, generally full-time setting. Teaching hours, previous qualifications and specific admission conditions matter when planning.
The other three answers
Notice the difference between the Abitur and university study.
a university
A university provides higher-education programmes. The question instead seeks an institution where an adult can obtain the school-level Abitur.
a secondary school
A Hauptschule is not the adult route to the Abitur sought here. The word “school” alone is not enough to identify the right answer.
a private university
A private university is still a higher-education institution. Private ownership does not make it an evening secondary school for obtaining a school qualification.
Being 30 does not guarantee admission.
The question gives an age to help identify an adult educational route. It does not mean anyone can start immediately without further conditions. Requirements concerning previous education, work experience or other evidence must be checked with the relevant school.
This route is not restricted to men. The Abitur is also a university entrance qualification, not a university degree; a subsequent degree programme may have additional admission requirements.
Second educational pathway · Federal Employment Agency ↗Adult learner completing the Abitur: evening secondary school.
The age in the example does not change the institutions’ functions: first obtain the school qualification, then consider possible university routes.
