Educational poverty is measured by the share of successful graduates from the vocational preparation year (Berufsvorbereitungsjahres - BVJ) and the size of risk groups in different subject areas. The educational monitor has the aim, according to the source, to work out the strengths and weaknesses of the education systems in individual federal states and document the changes over time. The study included several indicators that are assigned to 12 action areas and measure the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of education systems.
