School Organization Act

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The School Organization Act ( SchOG for short ) forms the most important legal basis for the Austrian school system .

Starting position

Up until 1962, the school laws from the First Republic were still in force in Austria, some of which were based on provisions from the 19th century. The first contacts were made in the winter of 1946/47 and the first drafts were available in 1948. However, opposing points of view also emerged, which were discussed in intensive consultations and numerous negotiations. With this law, the school system of the Second Republic was placed on a fundamentally new basis, which is still valid today and has been adapted to current requirements in many amendments.

purpose

With the School Organization Act, a uniform and generally recognized new regulation of the school system "from kindergarten to university" was created. It contains, for example, the regulations that are still in force today on compulsory school attendance , free attendance at school and religious instruction, but also provisions on vocational schooling and the training of teachers.
