Offers for education and participation
With these benefits, your child can take advantage of school and leisure activities if you would otherwise not be able to afford the costs.
The benefits for education and participation give your child better opportunities to develop personally and participate in social life. This is why many different cultural and educational programmes are funded. The education and participation benefits include
- One-day school and day-care centre excursions (actual costs)
- School and daycare trips lasting several days (actual costs)
- personal school supplies (a total of 156 euros per school year)
- Pupils' transport to school (actual costs - even if the school transport tickets provided for this purpose entitle the holder to general journeys outside of school transport)
- learning support (actual costs - tutoring can also be used in future if promotion is not immediately jeopardised)
- Participation in a communal lunchtime meal at school or day care centres (actual costs)
- Participation in social and cultural life in the community (such as sports clubs or music schools in the amount of 15 euros per month).
