School Act for the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Schulgesetz NRW, SchulG

Bass 12-63 No. 2 Basic decree

In North Rhine-Westphalia, there are easily accessible all-day schools in almost all towns and municipalities, with open all-day schools at primary level and tied all-day schools at lower secondary level. There are also extracurricular childcare facilities. All-day schools make an important contribution to improving the compatibility of family and working life and are part of a comprehensive educational offer. In North Rhine-Westphalia, cooperation between schools and youth welfare services is a key feature of all-day schools. For example, they offer learning support, cultural and sports activities and cooperation with a wide range of extracurricular partners and leisure activities. Reliable school meals and the integration of homework into school learning times are also part of the offer.

The concrete planning and implementation is carried out locally by the local authorities, as all-day schooling is an essential part of school development and youth welfare planning that must be coordinated.

• All-day school
• Depending on the school level (primary or lower secondary level), there are different all-day and childcare options.
