The German school system at a glance

The Abitur plays a central role in the German education system and is the prerequisite for access to universities. In Germany there are different qualifications that can be achieved through different educational paths. In addition to the secondary school leaving certificate and the secondary school leaving certificate, the Abitur is the highest school qualification that is typically acquired after 12 or 13 years of schooling. It opens up access to many professions, especially more demanding courses, and is required for many recognized professions such as aircraft pilot. The difference between the qualifications is crucial for the professional future of young people and is therefore of great importance, as german.stackexchange.com explains.
