Microcensus

In the period from January to December, a total of 1% of Germany's population in private households and collective living quarters will be selected using random sampling and the residents surveyed.

Teacher shortage is a challenge facing many schools, and information on teacher training is therefore highly relevant to educational policy discussions.
