At the age of six, children are already exposed with the Grundschule education; however to those children who have the same all levels of abilities remain with the group through the fourth grade of Grundschule. After the Grundschule level when the children turns ten the German institutions track the students depending on the abilities they have as well as their different interests with the different school forms. The Grundschule teachers are the ones who recommend their students to enroll into a particular school base on the criteria they have like the academic achievements, latent, as well as personality achievements which defining such as ability to work independently and have the high level of self-confidence.

In Germany, the lowest achieving students attend the Hauptschule level; these students will experience a slower discussion and most of it is basics. Mostly in a state, students who engage with the Hauptschule level started from the age five and continue its learning until the ninth grade. Unfortunately, there are some state that require school participation through the tenth grade, while in one of the southern states all of the students who have not been into Gymnasium during the 5th grade are required to sent to the Hauptschule for two years.
