DDS – Die Deutsche Schule: Issue Perspectives for a Nationwide Educational Trajectory Register

The study examines the feasibility of a nationwide educational trajectory register based on the Central Pupil Register of Hamburg. A sufficiently high linkage quality can be achieved by using record linkage procedures based on personal characteristics. However, there are challenges in linking data for migrants and regions with high population density. High data quality and consistent ID management over time are essential for successfully implementing an educational trajectory register.
