The compulsory schooling lasts 12 years after it begins. All compulsory school pupils initially attend elementary school (elementary school, special school) and lower secondary schools (secondary school, community school, grammar school, special school, comprehensive school) for at least 9 years. If they do not subsequently attend general education schools (secondary school, community school, grammar school, special school, comprehensive school), they fulfill their compulsory schooling by attending a vocational school. A compulsory school leaver who does not fulfill his or her compulsory schoolingmay also be sent to school against his or her will if other educational measures, in particular personal counseling, advice to the parents, the trainer and the employer of the person obliged to attend school and the involvement of the responsible youth welfare office, have been unsuccessful.
