Schools arrange their own school hours, group division, and activities. They also decide how lunch supervision works and which school rules and punishments apply. There is always a complaints procedure. Parents can find general information in the school guide and the school plan.
Schools can decide the size of the classes themselves, but the school must have a minimum number of square meters per student. The composition and division of groups are part of the school policy. A combined class has students from different groups. Parents are involved in the choices the school makes through the school participation council. The government sets the standard hours for primary and secondary school. Holidays are set by the government, but schools can choose free scheduling days. These must be listed in the school guide. There you can also read what the school does to prevent missed lessons. A school can suspend or remove your child. We explain the difference and discuss the rules the school must follow. You usually discuss complaints with the school first. If that does not solve the problem, you can file a complaint or contact an organization.
