“The increase in the number of school enrollments that has been observed since the 2016/2017 school year continues,” reported the statisticians. The number of school enrollments increased in all federal states. The largest percentage increases were recorded in Bremen and Lower Saxony with 8.2 percent each.

“The sharp increase in school enrollment is due to demographic developments,” said Wiesbaden: At the end of 2019 there were a total of 2.6 percent more children of the age relevant for school enrollment nationwide than in the previous year.

“One reason for the overall increase in school enrollment numbers is likely to be the increased immigration in recent years,” explained the statisticians: The number of five to seven year olds with foreign citizenship rose by 10.0 percent, those with German citizenship by 1.6 percent.
