Unveiling the report of German social welfare agencies at a news conference in Berlin, one of the authors of the survey, Barbara John pointed to the "structural discrimination" of migrant children in German schools.
She warned that the results of the study were "alarming." "Our educational system promotes social segregation ...," said John.
It is "deepening social inequalities," she added.
According to John, every third German student completes high school, compared to every 10th migrant student.
Meanwhile, the high school dropout rate among migrant children hovers around 15 percent, compared to only six percent among German students.
Some 40 percent of migrant students finish ninth grade, compared to 21 percent of German pupils. Less than three percent of foreign university students in Germany have obtained their high school in Germany.
John stressed that the nation's school system was "not prepared yet for the challenges of multi-cultural society."
There are some six million children of migrant origin living in Germany. Every third teenager in Germany has a migrant background.
