„Austria’s early school leaving rate fell continuously between 2007 and 2016, but increased again by 0.5 percentage point in 2017 to 7.4 %. While this remains well below the EU average and the national target for 2020 of 9.5 %, analysis of the increase shows that it has occurred particularly in towns and suburbs. While the rate among foreign-born pupils has continued to drop, in 2017 they were still more than three times more likely to leave school early than native-born pupils (18.4 % vs 5.3 %).“
