School administration office

Compulsory schooling generally lasts twelve years. It is divided into nine years of full-time compulsory schooling and three years of compulsory vocational schooling. The enforcement of compulsory education is the responsibility of the local compulsory school and district administrative authority.

At the request of parents or legal guardians, elementary school or secondary schools that are not members of a secondary school network may be permitted to attend another elementary school or secondary school with a different district for compelling personal reasons.

The student exchange is intended to strengthen international cooperation and communication in the school sector and to promote the foreign language, intercultural and social skills of the students.

The district administrative authorities are responsible for matters relating to the legal management of state education authorities.

The school expenses include the costs for the construction and operation of the entire school as well as the expenses for the house staff. In the case of public schools, the school expenses are generally borne by the local authority; in the case of private schools, they are borne by the respective private provider (e.g. the church).

A safe journey to school must be the goal of all those responsible. Children must be able to make their way to school safely as pedestrians, cyclists, passengers in cars or users of public transport. Any questions in this regard can be clarified with experts on site.

The necessary transport for pupils on their way to school is organized and provided by the school transport authorities. They are also responsible for reimbursing the costs.

The school transport services are set up by the local authorities and the authorities responsible for school transport. Pupils can register as school crossing guards and school bus crossing guards, and adults can volunteer as school crossing assistants and school bus attendants.
