✓ Correct Answer
the Abitur
The correct answer is: “the Abitur”. In Germany, education is a state matter - each of the 16 federal states regulates its school system independently. There is compulsory education, which ensures that all children have access to basic education. This question is part of the official naturalization test “Living in Germany” from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and is a prerequisite for German citizenship.
