School book campaign
The textbook campaign is a contribution in kind in Austria, which is supported by the Federal Ministry for Economy, Family and Youth and the Federal Ministry for Education, Art and Culture. Through the school book campaign, students are provided with teaching materials free of charge.
On July 9, 1972, the National Council decided to introduce the textbook campaign . Between 1995 and 2010 parents had to pay a deductible.
The textbook campaign is regulated in Section Ic of the Family Burdens Equalization Act of 1967. In the version of March 2, 2013 this reads:
"To alleviate the burdens that arise on parents through the upbringing and education of their children, pupils who attend a public or public school, middle or higher school in Germany as regular pupils or who attend compulsory schooling through participation in a Lessons in Germany in accordance with Section 11 of the Compulsory Schooling Act 1985, to provide the school books required for lessons to a maximum amount in accordance with the following provisions free of charge. "
Since an upper cost limit was introduced in 1995, which was only increased marginally in the years thereafter, it became no longer possible for all students to buy the books over the years. In order not to withhold the content of the book from the students, the teachers copy the content, which pushes them into the problem of copyright law and on the other hand the publisher suffers losses.
