New School Year Also Starts in the West and South

A week after the school start in the east, school also resumes in Carinthia, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Styria, Tyrol, and Vorarlberg. For 660,000 children and teenagers, the holiday or kindergarten period ends, and for around 53,500 first graders, it is their very first day of school. The new school year lasts until July 3, 2026, in the east, and until July 10 in the other federal states.

The new school year also brings expansion of German support and school psychology

The new school year brings, among other things, an expansion of German support and school psychology. For the first time, there is also school social work at federal schools (AHS, vocational middle and higher schools/BMHS). For children with disabilities, more modern curricula are being gradually introduced, and at the Economic Secondary Schools (WIKU), a new subject "Economy, Innovation, and Sustainability" is being introduced autonomously by the schools. The schools are to be relieved by the newly created pedagogical-administrative specialists and fewer ministry decrees.
