Over 2000 euros
School attendance often becomes a financial hurdle
It costs 2130 euros per year for a child to attend school in this country. This puts Lower Austria just below the Austrian average of 2,200 euros, but for families with several children this can quickly add up to considerable sums.
The Chamber of Labor has calculated annual costs of €404 for books and exercise books, and an average of €270 per year for school events - with ski courses or language trips of course drastically increasing this item. The AK experts calculate €751 for afternoon care alone, not including meals.
The lower the income, the more noticeable the impact of inflation.
Markus Wieser, Präsident der AKNÖ
This is where the Chamber of Labor's criticism comes in. President Markus Wieser demands: "Free care in the afternoon is urgently needed." More staff would have to be recruited for this. "Education should not be dependent on the financial situation of parents," emphasizes Wieser.
