Germany really has a great educational system set up. If you do not pass certain requirements in middle school, you do not get to continue on the college track. Instead, you go to a trade school after two years of high school, and have a job waiting for you afterwards.
However, if you do poorly in the middle school placement process they will give you a second chance after your two years of high school to retake that college track placement track.
Higher education is free, and school time is also greatly reduced in Germany - for example, med school is a 6 year process in all whereas in the US its a 12 year process.
