Drop out of school?

Hello

Yesterday I found an apprenticeship that starts on January 2, 2025. Since I'm still a minor, I'm still required to attend school.

But could I theoretically quit now that I have found an apprenticeship without having to pay a penalty?

In Germany, compulsory schooling is usually valid until 18 years of age or until the ninth or tenth grade is completed. I don’t think there’s anything in the way of starting training, because you’ll go back to school there. ðŸ ̃‰ in your place, however, I would ask again at your current school or at the school office.

How do we know if you give too little information?! This is why the only sensible answer is: search for “vocational compulsory education [land]”.

But even if you are not subject to professional training:

  • It’s better for the employer if you don’t have Rumgammel periods (except the holidays between your schoolman and the start of training).
  • If you’re running around, there’s no child’s money, and you may even have to pay your health insurance.

Do you already have a school degree? (Real school, for example, and now do Abitur)? Then, I think that’s okay. But also only then (But this could be different from the federal state to the federal state – check on the homepage of your competent state education ministry whether you find something – at least one contact address where you can ask). Without regular school graduation, however, I would definitely finish the school first – and, if necessary, ask the company whether they also offer new apprenticeships in summer/autumn 2025.

you know that you don’t get any more child money and you have to finance yourself or your parents up to 2.1.

If your parents don’t, you’ll have to work full-time.

Then you still have to go to school until December.

You’re not supposed to get used to doing nothing.
