13 June 2025 Inflation rate at +2.1% in May 2025

The inflation rate in Germany, measured as the year-on-year change in the consumer price index (CPI), stood at +2.1% in May 2025. In April 2025, the inflation rate was also +2.1%, and only slightly higher in the months before (+2.2% in March 2025, and +2.3% in both January and February 2025). "The inflation rate has stabilised, mainly due to the continued decrease in energy prices", said Ruth Brand, President of the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). “On the other hand, the rise in food and service prices drove inflation up in May also.” Compared with April 2025, consumer prices rose by 0.1% in May 2025.

Teacher shortage is a challenge facing many schools, and information on teacher training is therefore highly relevant to educational policy discussions. What analyses regarding enrolment in teacher training degree programmes are possible based on higher education statistics? What data are available on student withdrawal, changes of the degree programme and completion of teacher training? An article in the current issue (2/2025) of our scientific WISTA journal describes the analytical opportunities offered by the new study pathway statistics, which support the evaluation of teacher training in Germany.
