We have received a note from José Sanchez Martinez of Interparents which we copy below:

Dear students and parents,

At the last Interparents meeting in December at ES Luxembourg 2 we had the pleasure to meet Mr Ries, who is the Inspector for the subjects Biology and Chemistry. He underlined the importance of the internal European-School-system publication Eurobio for all Biology 4 students in the years S6 and S7 for their European Baccalaureate preparation. The files and the technical terms are apparently a reference point for both the written and oral exams.

In the meantime Interparents has found out that the publication is not available in print at the moment. If students have not been equipped with a Eurobio 6-7 version by their teachers they can try to access the files using the webpage www.volvox.lu following the links to the Eurobio advanced files and follow the instruction to download the relevant language file to give reference to the individual pdf files.

The files are also available on the Learning Gateway https://portal.lg.eursc.org/. It is unclear if all European Schools have equipped their students with access rights to the Learning Gateway as has been envisaged when it was set up. Interparents is also unclear if the files are in an area which can be accessed by the students in case they have access to the Learning Gateway. Therefore it seems advisable to inform all Biology 4 students in S6 and S7 to use the www.volvox.lu link to get access to the Eurobio files for now and to consult their teachers on instructions they might have got.
