Academic Guidance

Within the framework of lifelong learning, educational guidance has become increasingly important in recent years. It is perceived as a prerequisite for the assurance of the individual right to education and creating more permeability and equal opportunities in the education system. Despite increased efforts, given the numerous institutions and competences and the different legal rules, educational guidance is still very heterogeneous. Since 2017, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung – BMBF) has been offering a nationwide helpline service on CET counselling.
