Compulsory education is from the age of six (usually starting from September 1 following the child’s sixth birthday) for a period of nine years. All children that stay in Austria for longer than one semester have to attend school. After primary school children can attend different types of secondary schools: general secondary school, (“Hauptschule”), middle schol (“Mittelschule”) or lower level of an academic secondary school (“Allgemeinbildende höhere Schule”, AHS) (class 5 to 8). From class 9 on four different types of school can be attended: lower level of an academic secondary school (AHS; class 9-12), vocational secondary school (“Berufsbildende höhere Schule”, BHS; class 9-13), vocational middle school (“Berufsbildende mittlere Schule”, BMS; class 9-12) or Polytechnic school (“Polytechnische Schule”; class 9) with a subsequent vocational school (class 10-12). By successfully completing both AHS and BHS, children obtain the “Matura”, the school leaving certificate which allows admission to university/college.
