Immigrants in Germany have different levels of education compared to native Germans. First-generation immigrants generally have fewer years of schooling and lower qualifications. The age at which immigrants arrive in Germany affects their education level, with those coming at a younger age faring better. Second-generation immigrants tend to catch up in education compared to their parents. The country of origin also plays a role, with immigrants from countries closer to German culture doing better in education. On the other hand, immigrants from Turkey, Italy, and some Middle Eastern countries have lower educational attainment.
