Over 100,000 general education students finalize their studies in Baden-Württemberg during the academic year's conclusion.
Students Leaving General Education Schools in Baden-Württemberg: A Breakdown of School-Leaving Certificates in 2024
In the year 2024, a total of approximately 102,000 school leaving certificates were issued from general education schools in the State of Baden-Württemberg. Among these, 7,531 students left without the Hauptschulabschluss, a basic secondary school-leaving certificate.
Interestingly, more students obtained university entrance qualifications, with around 30,000 graduates achieving this milestone. However, it's important to note that the specific number of university entrance qualifications (Abitur or equivalent) issued by general education schools in Baden-Württemberg for the year 2024 is not explicitly available in the search results.
Of the students who left general education schools without a Hauptschulabschluss, approximately 2,500 achieved their leaving certificate in the "Learning" special needs focus area, and over 1,000 students received their certificates in the "Intellectual Development" special needs focus area. This is significantly less than the number of students who obtained university entrance qualifications.
In contrast, the number of students who left general education schools without a Hauptschulabschluss is less than the total number of school leaving certificates issued and is also less than the number of graduates who obtained intermediate leaving certificates, the most common type of school leaving certificates in 2024.
It's worth noting that the "Learning" and "Intellectual Development" special needs focus areas were among the areas where leaving certificates were achieved by students who left general education schools without a Hauptschulabschluss.
The remaining graduates who obtained university entrance qualifications received either general university entrance qualifications or Fachhochschulreife, a qualification for admission to universities of applied sciences. Of these, 370 achieved Fachhochschulreife.
For precise figures on the number of university entrance qualifications awarded in 2024 by general education schools in Baden-Württemberg, you would typically consult official education statistics published by the Statistisches Landesamt Baden-Württemberg, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports Baden-Württemberg, or related educational research institutions in the state. These bodies regularly publish annual reports on school-leaving qualifications, including the number of Abitur certificates issued.
Other education-and-self-development opportunities, such as obtaining learning certificates in special needs focus areas, were pursued by students who left general education schools without a Hauptschulabschluss in 2024. Despite this, the number of students who obtained university entrance qualifications was significantly higher.
