Compulsory schooling
All children in Germany age six and older are required to attend school in accordance with federal education laws. Full-time compulsory schooling ends after nine school years. Upon completing primary school, children proceed to either secondary school level 1 or level 2 and earn the respective school-leaving certificates. In Germany, education falls under the responsibility of the federal states. Consequently, the forms of schooling may vary from state to state.
