Lesson cancellation.
Sometimes lessons are canceled at schools, for example because the school has a shortage of teaching staff or due to an emergency. Does this cause the school to fall below the legally required minimum number of teaching hours? Then the school must make up for the lost teaching time.
Plan against lesson cancellations
The school guide and school plan must explain what the school does to prevent lesson cancellations. The school must offer all students a program that meets the required teaching time. The Education Inspectorate can hold a school accountable if it provides insufficient teaching hours.
Hour norm
The law requires a minimum number of teaching hours that schools must provide. This is arranged differently for primary education and secondary education.

Disagree?
If you do not agree with how the school handles lesson cancellations for your child, you can talk with the school management and the school participation council. You can also report it to the education inspectorate.
