Education Law Changes: New Schools, Liquidations, and Shared Facilities
The act introduces new types of schools, such as bilingual primary schools, and detailed procedures for the liquidation and transformation of educational institutions, increasing transparency and citizen participation. Additionally, it allows local governments to use school buildings for other public purposes, provided that safety and quality of education are maintained, and streamlines the organization of common rooms and meals in schools.
Key points
New Bilingual Primary Schools: Public bilingual primary schools for grades 7-8 are established, offering new educational opportunities for students.
More Transparent School Liquidations: Mandatory consultations with parents and education superintendents, along with detailed information requirements for closing or transforming schools, give citizens greater influence over these decisions.
Shared Use of School Buildings: Local governments can use school buildings for purposes like childcare for children up to 3, senior policy, or culture, provided it does not disrupt school operations.
Improved Common Room and Meal Services: Smaller primary and special schools can offer common room activities for preschoolers, and all primary and art schools must provide one hot meal daily.
Takeover of Private School Management: It is now possible for another individual or entity to take over the management of a school if the current operator retires or goes on disability, helping to ensure the continuity of these institutions.
New School District Rules: Special, integration, bilingual, sports, and art schools will not have districts, while districts for other primary schools must be precisely defined and approved by the education superintendent.
