School club

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term school association has several different meanings.

Organ of the school board

Before political municipalities or municipal associations became school authorities across Germany , the school authorities (usually the responsible church community together with the political community) formed school associations, from which the members of the school board were appointed or elected. Such school associations still exist in German schools abroad. Conversely, school associations such as the “ Danish School Association for South Schleswig ” operate schools for people of their ethnicity or nationality in Germany as school bodies . School associations in the function of sponsoring associations also exist at schools that are privately sponsored. You are responsible for ensuring that decisions are made according to the “spirit of the school”.

Instrument of the welfare state

Institutions such as the Hamburger Schulverein von 1875 eV see it as their task to enable children from financially weak families (here: with residence in the state of Hamburg) to stay in an “ open-air school ” or to take a children's spa. The “Hamburger Schulverein” also runs after- school care centers at Hamburg schools.

Support for students who belong to ethnic minorities

Until 1938 there was the German School Association , which ran schools for members of the German nationality in those areas of Austria within the borders until 1918 in which non-Germans formed the majority of the population.

The “German-Swiss School Association”, founded in 1881, paid for German lessons in Bosco / Gurin , the only German-speaking municipality in the otherwise Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino, for many years .

The " Sorbian School Association " is concerned with promoting the interests of the Sorbs in Lusatia and promoting Sorbian culture in schools. The association operates cultural lobbyism .

The "Polish School Association 'OŚWIATA' in Berlin eV" supports the interests of Polish students in schools in Berlin, especially for teaching in Polish.
