An indicator-based report including an analysis of
transitions subsequent to lower secondary education
Summary of important results
Authoring Group Educational Reporting
The report “Education in Germany 2008” presents the second comprehensive empirical account of the German education system. The volume analyses all stages of education ranging from early childhood education and care, the general education
system, vocational education and training and higher education to the continuing education of adults.
As an analysis of the German education system that is data-based and problem-centred, the educational report does not include explicit recommendations for action. What is special about
this report is that it mainly relates to selected indicators and statistical parameters, each of which represents a central feature of educational processes or a central aspect of educational quality. It can only take into account current problems in the development of education to the extent that reliable data have been ascertained.
