Constantly making the same mistakes in the building application - stupidity or intent?

I can only agree with the three of you. In case of spelling mistakes, it was so noticeable that I now think it leans more towards dyslexia. The boy can only be held partially responsible for that; I also see his mentor as being obliged, just as toxicmolotov wrote. It is indeed annoying when the place of residence is spelled differently twice on one page in the input planning. I found it really difficult to distinguish between dyslexia and careless work. However, such documents still make a bad impression, regardless of the reason...

True dyslexia is to be assessed differently, correct. Whether a dyslexic person can be happy in a job where written applications are part of the daily routine remains to be seen. What is correct is: here the mentor is responsible.

However, since until recently I regularly had the opportunity to proofread scientific papers from students, I know that in about 20% of cases the writing performance is poor - sometimes despite excellent high school grades at the same time. This ideally should not be the case, but it is. These are native speakers, not dyslexics, and I had (prematurely) categorized the previously described case as such.

In my time, the subject-specific university entrance qualification was sufficient for the university of applied sciences, which was attained after 12 years of schooling, the general university entrance qualification then after 13 years with the Abitur. But because of nonsensical reforms like Bologna and countless other experiments with Turbo-Abi, G12, G13 and whatever they are all called, I no longer keep track. And keeping an overview of correct spelling is also not always easy for me with an Abitur from the early 90s (old spelling) due to what I think are failed spelling reforms [emoji6]

Even after 12 years, writing should no longer be an issue.

Old vs. new spelling: If the cases I mentioned used the correct old spelling, the errors would be significantly reduced compared to what they actually produce.

I don’t disagree with that either, I just wanted to contribute something to the topic "Abi necessary for studies." [emoji4]

And as for the frequency of spelling mistakes, my experiences from my time in research regarding supervised theses match yours. Even though it was 7 to 10 years ago, I was always torn back then, too, whether to mark all the mistakes and insist on corrections or limit proofreading to the content. After all, as a supervisor, your name is on the thesis and may be held accountable.

Am I mistaken or are we slightly OT?! [emoji23]

Since the question was whether it is ignorance or not, we are not completely off-topic. Replace "ignorance" with "lack of education."

Regarding "or not?" we have found that one gets to experience training work that inevitably results in certain error rates. How the bosses, with whom one has a contract, deal with this is another matter.

If, due to lack of time, there is no sufficient supervision of the learners, the head of the fish is to blame.
