The new school year has now started for approximately 640,000 children and young people in Upper Austria, Styria, Salzburg, Carinthia, Tyrol and Vorarlberg, while their peers in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland have already completed the first week. 53,000 Taferlklasse students in western and southern Austria have their first day of school on Monday. The new school year will last until June 30, 2023 in the east and July 7 in the other federal states.
As in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland, the corona rules roughly correspond to those with which the last school year ended: Although there is no general obligation to test and wear masks, drivers can carry out antigen tests or arrange masks in the event of contamination – with permission of the education directorate, longer.
New: Symptom-free corona-positive students can take classes with an FFP2 mask, symptom-free positive teachers at AHS and BMHS and in some states can also teach in compulsory schools with an FFP2 mask.
