Abstract: Around a decade after Germany's reunification, a long-standing educational gap between the east and west of the country - completion of the certificate needed to enter university - had closed. Ghazala Azmat and Katja Kaufmann reveal how the political and economic upheaval of the times influenced young people's choices.
