"The Future of Elementary Schools and Full-Day Care" Program

Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, the legal entitlement for elementary school children—initially for first graders—will take effect. This entitlement will be gradually expanded to include subsequent grade levels in the years that follow. The legal entitlement is intended to guarantee full-day educational and care services for schoolchildren. This imposes an obligation on the City of Erlangen to consider how to ensure this legal entitlement through youth services and schools, to take appropriate measures, and, in particular, to make elementary schools “structurally ready” for this purpose.

The expansion is necessary to meet the space requirements at Erlangen’s high schools in the short term as part of the reintroduction of the G9 curriculum.
