According to the German Constitution, the responsibility of education and decision on its funding lies with 16 states of the federation of Germany. The policies of all forms of schooling remain with the educational laws of these 16 federal states. Each school has the autonomous power to describe its own aims, focuses and types of policies for its education, based on its educational order and existing frames and curriculum in a school program. The differences in the educational policies of different states are mainly because of their arbitrary traditions and political/ideological orientations. Universal access to education is a law enforced uniformly in Germany. Education into public-sector primary and secondary schools is available for every resident child or for their expat parents without any charge or fees. Nobody is charged for enrollment or for report cards.
