Translations:Secondary school - Germany/1/en-gb

Secondary Schools: The secondary school is divided into lower secondary level (grades 5-10) and upper secondary level (grades 11-13). There are at least five different kinds of lower secondary schools (ISCED 2): Hauptschule, Werkrealschule, Realschule, Gymnasium and Gemeinschaftsschule (and the Special Education and Counselling Centres). The school types offer different graded school leaving certificates. In principle, inclusive education (for pupils with disabilities) is possible in all these types of school. In the upper secondary schools (ISCED 3) differentiated teaching is not planned.
