In Brief

About the Project

The German School Barometer is a representative survey of general and vocational schools in Germany. The German School Barometer makes it possible to describe developments at an early stage by recording and examining the observations and assessments of people who help to shape and experience schools on a daily basis. Current challenges and needs can be identified and recommendations for decision-makers in the education system can be derived.
The German School Barometer was extensively revised in 2024 and consists of three survey instruments: With the German School Barometer Teachers, we survey the current situation at schools from the perspective of teachers. In the German School Barometer for Pupils, we survey children, adolescents and their parents on the psychological and academic well-being of pupils and on psychosocial support structures inside and outside of school. Starting in 2024, both surveys will be conducted annually with the same respondents (longitudinal panel survey). These two surveys will be complemented by the German School Barometer Focus. This survey instrument will be used to examine current key issues in greater depth.
