School leaving certificates can be obtained at schools.

A child's transition from primary school (at the end of grade 6) to secondary school is a significant event, as the right choice of secondary school is important for the individual development of each individual child. This decision-making process is often associated with a variety of questions in order to finally find a school in which the child feels comfortable and at the same time is supported and challenged according to his individuality. For admission to a secondary general education school, in addition to the wishes of the parents, the determination of abilities, achievements and inclinations are decisive, including the primary school report and the half-year report of grade 6.
