Notes:
1) Year specification: school year or school-leaving year (e.g. 2005 = school year 2005/2006 or school-leaving year 2005).
2) As of 2018, differences in sums are possible due to the rounding procedure to ensure privacy in general schools statistics. For further information see source.
3) For the 2024/2025 school year, "Secondary schools" in Bavaria were converted into "Schools with two courses of education", which means that the data for these two types of schools is no longer comparable with previous years.
4) In the 2024/2025 school year, the following types of schools will be renamed: "Integrated comprehensive school" will become "School with three courses of education" and "Schools with different courses of education" will become "Schools with two courses of education".
5) As of 2013, the category intermediate school certificate includes the proof of the academic part of the entrance qualification for studies at universities of applied sciences (in Saxony-Anhalt as of 2012).
