Ministry: Demo No Reason for Absence from School - Schleswig-Holstein Cracks Down on Protest-Related School Absences
The state’s education authority announced that participation in protests against conscription reforms does not justify missing classes. Students who fail to attend without a valid reason will have their absences formally recorded. Those who skip graded tests or exams will automatically receive a failing mark.
The ministry’s stance means students must now choose between attending protests and avoiding academic penalties. Absences linked to demonstrations will be treated the same as any other unauthorised truancy. The policy applies immediately, with no exceptions for political activism.
