Description

The Schulpflichtgesetz 1985 establishes mandatory school attendance in Austria for children and young people. It defines the age at which compulsory education begins and the duration of the mandatory schooling period. The law outlines the responsibilities of parents or guardians to ensure school attendance and provides measures for enforcement if school obligations are not met. It also specifies conditions under which exemptions or alternative education forms may be considered, ensuring that all children have access to basic education.
