Aweil es in Deutschland nur staatliche Schulen gibt
Bweil alle Schülerinnen und Schüler einen Schulabschluss haben müssen
Cweil es in den Bundesländern verschiedene Schulen gibt
Dweil es nach dem Grundgesetz seine Aufgabe ist

Explanation

The state controls the education system in Germany because this is enshrined in the Basic Law. Article 7 of the Basic Law states that the entire school system is under state supervision, ensuring that education meets uniform standards and protects the rights of students. This state control also aims to ensure equal opportunities and promote individual development.
