Fines threaten – instead of school: 167 children in Upper Austria in “parental custody”

Date:

The number of early school leavers has fallen nationally from 1,408 children to 625. But the hard core of the measures, critics want to keep their children away from regular classes. There are 100 complaints about compulsory education. In the meantime, however, the parents of absent students are threatening heavy fines.

They miss learning with their peers: children who are kept out of school by their parents. In the course of the corona pandemic, critics of the measures to teach the next generation at home suddenly became fashionable. Last year 1,408 children and young people received home education, in the new school year there will be 625, not even half as many. But there is a hard core of apparently unreasonable parents.
