Since 2010/11, Bavaria has driven forward the vocational school education of asylum seekers and refugees of compulsory school age with real momentum. Following initial pilots with classes in Nuremberg and Munich and since the start of the school year 2015/16, approximately 8,100 pupils across 95 sites and in a total of 440 classes are being taught throughout Bavaria. This article describes the framework conditions, the features and the implementation of the Bavarian approach based on academic monitoring on behalf of the City of Munich.
