Schulpflicht Zurückstellung beantragen

You expect that your child will not be able to successfully participate in Grade 1 classes of primary school for health reasons. Then you can apply to your primary school for deferral of school attendance.

Parents have the opportunity to apply for deferral of school attendance if it is to be expected that the child will not be able to successfully participate in class one lessons of primary school for health reasons. In principle, the deferral of school attendance is to be regarded as an exception.

For children who are deferred from school attendance for a school year, the school management can order the visit of a school kindergarten or recommend the visit of a day care center.

There is a corresponding regulation for registration at special schools. In this case, the school board decides.

• informal, written request
• if necessary, other documents such as a medical certificate
• There are no fees.

• Your child is  required to attend school in Rhineland-Palatinate for the coming school year.
• It is questionable whether your child can successfully participate in class one lessons for health reasons.

The decision is made by the school management on the basis of the school admission interview with the parents and  information from the day care centre, if  the parents have consented to the transfer, in consultation with the school doctor. The decision will be communicated to the parents in writing by 15 June.

The decision will be communicated to the parents in writing by 15 June.

The reasoned application can be made at the time of school registration, but also at a later date by 15 May of the school year of enrolment at the latest.

Objection is possible.

Please contact the primary school responsible for your place of residence.
