The expenditure per pupil varied between different types of schools. It was 5,600 euros at primary schools and 7,500 euros each at grammar schools and at integrated comprehensive schools. The comparatively low per capita expenditure of 2,800 euros at vocational schools in the dual system of vocational education and training is above all due to part-time education.
