"Future elementary school and all-day care" program

From the 2026/2027 school year, the legal entitlement for primary school children will come into force, initially for year 1. This will be successively extended to the other grades in the following years. The legal entitlement is intended to guarantee all-day education and childcare for schoolchildren. As a result, the city of Erlangen is obliged to consider how youth welfare services and schools can ensure the legal entitlement, to take appropriate measures and, in particular, to make elementary school "structurally fit" for this.
