Education in Germany The responsibility for the education system in Germany lies primarily with the states ("Länder"), while the federal government plays a minor role. Optional Kindergarten (nursery school) education is provided for all children between one and six years old, after which school attendance is compulsory. The system varies throughout Germany because each state ("Land") decides its own educational policies. Most children, however, first attend Grundschule from the age of six to eleven.
