Terminology
The 2018 version of the Unesco/OECD/Eurostat Manual on concepts, definitions and classification can be consulted for the definitions of regular education (p.10); general and vocational programmes of education (p.19); as well as public institution, government-dependent private institution and private independent institution (pp. 24-26)

Notes
With regard to day care-centres for children, the local site approach to counting is used. Day care centres for children are institutions in which children are admitted all day or for part of the day and are cared for regularly in terms of nursing and education, who have the appropriate personnel and for whom an operating permit in accordance with paragraph 45 of the Social Security Code VIII (Achtes Buch Sozialgesetzbuch – Kinder- und Jugendhilfe) or a comparable permit is available. The term "institution" is understood to mean a combination, for a certain period of time, of material and personal means relating to a place and a building for a specific purpose under the responsibility of an executing agency.

The counting unit for the number of educational institutions providing regular education in the school sector is a ‘type of school’. A type of school has an independent character with regard to curricula, educational objectives and qualification level. Counting ‘types of school’ is different from counting organisational units/legal entities, as an organisational unit/legal entity may combine more than one type of school under one umbrella.

‚Type of school’ may correspond to a specific study programme. The study programmes Vorklassen, Schulkindergärten, Orientierungsstufe, Berufsvorbereitungsjahr and Berufsgrundbildungsjahr are counted as separate types of school in German school statistics although they are in almost all cases established under the legal/organisational umbrella of a larger educational unit. These types of school are not included in the table because they fall outside the scope of the Eurydice understanding of the term ‚educational institution‘ which privileges counting according to the legal entity or local site approaches.

In the case of Hauptschule, Realschule and Gymnasium, ‚type of school‘ may apply to institutions who are legal entities/organisational units in their own right as well as to those who are not. ‚Schools offering several courses of education‘ refers to a type of school in the Länder providing the courses of education otherwise offered by the Hauptschule and Realschule and in some cases also the Gymnasium. Designations for this type of school vary between the Länder. The different courses of education offered at this type of school are not counted as separate types of school.

The category 'private independent' is not relevant in Germany.
