Alarming increase in school swimmers in Lower Saxony!

Delmenhorst, Deutschland - compulsory schooling in Germany has existed since 1919 and yet school tails are a cutting -edge topic. In Lower Saxony in particular, the figures of the school swimmers increase significantly, as reported Delmenews . Schools can now take drastic measures if students are repeatedly lacking. If there are no repeated lack, fines of up to 1,000 euros are threatened; The figures for fine procedures have increased significantly in recent years. The procedures in Hanover rose by 14%, in Osnabrück by 20%, in Oldenburg by 22%and even 31%in Göttingen.

Regular police controls are already common in Oldenburg to take up young people who are not at school and to inform them accordingly. Most of the time, the young people can go back to their classes without police accompaniment. But the causes behind these numbers are often worrying. This shows that many young people suffer from the pressure of bullying, family problems or an unfavorable school environment. In addition, the loneliness of young people has increased since Corona, which contributes to school tails that should not be underestimated.

complex causes and help offers

The reasons for school tails are complex and are often related to socially difficult or unemployed conditions. Many young people bring a refusal to do so that has nothing to do with laziness, but rather roots in a lack of support. One example is the case of Liam, who fled the school for months for bullying and received fines of 900 euros for his absenteeism. He had to do social hours to pay the punishment, but ultimately was able to use the association "Die Brücke e.V." from Delmenhorst to make up for his school leaving certificate and is now striving for an apprenticeship as a landscape gardener, says .

The increasing numbers of school abrasions not only create schools, but also put a strain on the entire education system. According to Deutschlandfunk there are always over 50,000 school dropouts in Germany, which makes up for around six percent of young people. These lost educational opportunities can result in long -term economic and social consequences. Young people without a formal school leaving certificate have a hard time on the job market, which not only affects them, but also society as a whole, since educational poverty can lead to loneliness, health problems and enormous stress on public budgets.
