New Caritas study: More and more young people without a school leaving certificate

More than 52,000 young people left school in 2017 without a secondary school diploma. That’s 5000 more than two years ago. Thus, the rate rose nationwide by one percentage point to 6.9 percent. With the Opportunity Study, Caritas focuses on young people who have few opportunities in the labor market.

Caritas analyzes the data of graduates without a school leaving qualification every year since 2012 down to the county level. With a year off, the numbers of the Education Opportunities Study were updated in July 2019.

Result: The rate rose nationwide from 5.9 percent in 2015 to 6.9 percent. The quotas have also risen in the federal states and in most districts and independent cities, albeit at different levels.

Immigration is one of the explanatory factors for the increased numbers. For many of the immigrant adolescents, it is difficult to simultaneously learn the language and to achieve a school degree.

It depends on the political will

The 2012 Caritas study on young people without a secondary school certificate showed that there are districts and cities that manage to give young people good opportunities for education, despite difficult conditions. Even if there are no patent recipes, some success factors can be named, which seem to be effective in many places. More
