  5. Kindergarten • Kindergartens are generally run by communities, private or non-profit organisations, and have to follow state-set Standards. Attendance is from 3 years to the beginning of compulsory education at 6 years. The educational aims at kindergarten level are personal development and to provide the first learning experience. Rainer Lacler und Claudia Reichmann

  6. Grundschule • Grundschule is normally attended by all children who have attained their 6th birthday by a given deadline in the year. In grade 4, parents wishing their children to be enrolled in a Gymnasium or Realschule apply for a Transfer Report. Rainer Lacler und Claudia Reichmann

  8. General Secondary Education Secondary education offers streams for different educational aspirations and personal abilities. These streams are organized as separate schools with different educational approaches. Each stream features various subject group options internally. Hauptschule (grades 5 - 9 or 5-10 with Option M) is the compulsory stream of secondary education. Pupils with vocational orientation reach the Dual System through grade 9. Those attaining the Intermediate School Certificate through course M (7 -10) enjoy the same educational mobility as Realschule graduates. Realschule (grades 5 -10) aims at the Intermediate School Certificate. It has an important distribution function for upper secondary education, especially for the Fachoberschule. Students entering the work force with this certificate often prefer office-related careers. Gymnasium (grades 5 -12) aims at the General Higher Education Entrance Certificate (Allgemeine Hochschulreife), which provides access to higher education, normally without further entrance exams. The upper secondary level allows students to set individual priorities when selecting their courses. Rainer Lacler und Claudia Reichmann

  9. Vocational Education • Part-time Vocational School (Berufsschule) and part-time Company training complement each other in the Dual System. It mainly provides two corresponding learning locations: • the school for job-related theory • the Company for on-the-job-training. • Trainees come from every type of school. They graduate as skilled workers and are free to choose an employer. Rainer Lacler und Claudia Reichmann

  10. Specific Problems • Number of curriculaHave a look on grade 6: 16 Länder with at least 3 different streams means about 50 different curricula all over Germany…… but also regionalism in education. • Early separation… • Lack of full day schools… Rainer Lacler und Claudia Reichmann
