Students with an educational background in academia are significantly more inclined to earn a university degree.
Here's a rephrased version of the text:
Stats show that individuals lacking a vocational diploma or higher education entrance qualification, which is the equivalent of a maximum secondary school degree, are considered less academically qualified. In the 25-65 age group, this academic gap was substantial, especially among those whose parents only held a vocational diploma or higher education entrance qualification. The Federal Office reported a 19% disparity in this group.
Family background has a bearing on people's educational trajectories, with those having parents of migration background having a lower university degree rate. According to 2022 data, only 19% of 25-65-year-olds with migrant parentage held a university degree, while among their peers without a migration background, the figure was 25%. This gap was said to be completely accounted for by the lower average educational level of their parents.
The Federal Office's assessment for the national education report also indicated that age at migration significantly impacts the probability of securing a university degree. People who immigrated as minors had a higher education level, with those who arrived before the age of three having a 24% academic quotient. For those who migrated between the ages of 14 and 18, the figure dropped to just 9%.
