Changes in education law: new school types and closure rules

The act introduces a new type of school – a bilingual primary school for grades 7-8, combined with a bilingual high school or technical school. It also changes school closure rules, requiring local governments to inform parents more thoroughly and hold consultations, and allows a school to be taken over by another person upon retirement. New regulations also cover after-school care, the obligation to provide a hot meal, and merging schools into complexes.
Key points
New bilingual primary schools for grades 7-8 only, linked to a bilingual high school or technical school.
Local governments closing a school must provide detailed information to parents, hold consultations, and obtain the superintendent's opinion.
An individual running a school can transfer its operation to another person or entity when retiring.
In small schools (up to 70 students), the after-school club can also care for preschool children.
Primary schools (except for adults) must provide students with one hot meal per day (paid and voluntary).
A municipality can take over running a special, sports, or secondary school from a county if the county plans to close it.
