What exactly is a "Bildungsurlaub"?

“Bildungsurlaub means the legal entitlement of workers to paid time off work from their employer for the purpose of attending recognized or deemed recognized courses of political and/or vocational education and training. The legal basis is the Berlin Bildungsurlaubsgesetz (BiUrlG) from 24.10.1990 (GVBl. S. 2209), as last amended by Article X on 17.05.1999 (GVBl. S. 178). All Berlin employees and trainees have a legal entitlement regardless of age” (Berlin Senate)
