The Core Set of Data on the Basis of Individual Data Surveys in School Statistics From Aggregated Data to Individual Data

The public attention to the introduction of individual data in school statistics has slightly decreased in recent years; but the "core set of data" and the "data acquisition strategy" of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in the Lander of the Federal Republic of Germany (KMK) are time and again and at different points in time in the focus of the media, of science and of parents in the individual federal states. This contribution shows how the KMK has set out to get an improved database for the necessary education-political management knowledge by a conversion of the school statistics to individual data, while fully observing the concerns of data protection.
