Explanation:
Die Schulpflicht gliedert sich in die Vollzeitschulpflicht und in die Berufsschulpflicht.

http://lexikon.freenet.de/Schulpflicht

Was ist Vollzeitschulpflicht?
Nach dem Hamburgischen Schulgesetz beträgt die Vollzeitschulpflicht grundsätzlich 9 Schulbesuchsjahre. Das bedeutet, 9 Schulbesuchsjahre müssen beendet sein, um nicht mehr der Vollzeitschulpflicht zu unterliegen. Wiederholungsjahre werden im Allgemeinen mitgezählt. Wird also beispielsweise eine Klasse wiederholt ist die Vollzeitschulpflicht bereits nach der achten Klasse beendet (§ 2 Abs. 3 JArbSchG).

Bildungsreform
In den 60er Jahren war eine Reform des bis dato bestehenden Bildungssystem notwendig. Dahinter stand die Erkenntnis, dass eine Reform von Bildungszielen an eine Reform der Bildungsprozesse gebunden ist. Zu den wesentlichen Neuerungen der Bildungsreform gehören: die Verlängerung der Vollzeitschulpflicht von 9 auf 10 Jahre, die Einführung der Orientierungsstufe für die Klassen 5 und 6. Ebenfalls wurde die Einführung der Gesamtschule und die Reform der gymnasialen Oberstufe beschlossen. Hier wurden erstmals Leistungs- und Grundkurse eingeführt.

Secondary general schools/Hauptschulen
Attendance at secondary general school is compulsory for all
pupils who, having finished primary school, decide not to
attend any of the other types of secondary school. Secondary
general school covers classes 5 to 9 and in some Länder includes
class 10. In most Länder, voluntary participation in class 10 at
secondary general school is possible. Approx. 30% of secondary
general school pupils stay on for a tenth year. Secondary
general schools provide general education as a basis for practical
vocational training.

Full-time vocational schools/Berufsfachschulen
Full-time vocational schools offer courses of at least one year’s
duration. In general, attendance is voluntary. These schools can
be entered after completion of compulsory full-time schooling.

Berufsfachschulen
Berufsfachschulen sind Vollzeitschulen, die mindestens für die
Dauer eines Jahres besucht werden. Sie können in der Regel
freiwillig nach Erfüllung der Vollzeitschulpflicht zur Berufsvorbereitung oder zur vollen Berufsausbildung ohne vorherige
praktische Berufsausbildung besucht werden.

Full time compulsory education


Explanation:
You know what? Everywhere is just mentioned compulsory education or State compulsory education, the CE even.
Germany
Duration of full time compulsory education
Duration of full-time compulsory education: 9 - 10 years (compulsory general education)

Subsequent period of part-time compulsory education: 3 years (compulsory vocational education)

Duration of compulsory education and designation of schools varies according to the law of each "Land" of the Federal Republic of Germany (16 in all)

Compulsory education. Since the 1960s, there has been a persistent increase in the proportion of children attending formal schooling, especially at the elementary, middle/junior high, and high school levels. Enrollment at these levels is almost universal in most developed countries. Since schooling at these levels is typically compulsory, it is not surprising that participation rates are almost universal for 14- to 15-year-olds (Indicator 3).

I overlooked the confidence level, it\'s high, because every source gives you just full time compulsory education, I mean, that\'s about Germany also.
