The inflation of recent years has not stopped at school costs. This is confirmed by a study by the Tyrolean Chamber of Labor, among others. Parents have to overcome financial hurdles due to these expenses, which are often almost impossible to cope with. Subsidies are intended to help.

Lower-income households have to spend an average of 15 percent (!) of their household income on school costs. This was confirmed in a study by the Tyrolean Chamber of Labor (AK). According to the study, an average of 1878 euros is spent per child - 645 euros more than three years ago.
