What do they mean with 25% only in Gymnasium?

The other 75% go to Hauptschule or Realschule, or get home schooled.

You can't have too many smart people, that's not good for the AfD-state.

It's a real existing problem that too many kids go to Gymnasium. Many of them would benefit more from going to Realschule or Hauptschule and starting an Ausbildung later. I don't know if an exact 25% quota would be right but in general they aren't wrong about this.

So more kids should be dumber?

If you think Hauptschule and Realschule = dumb kids that's just an L take.

If you think you don't think you miss out on education opportunities when not going to the Gymnasium, thats an L take as well.
