Education package - forms for parents

Formulare mit Handy und Stift

The education package is available so that children and young people from low-income families can take part everywhere. The benefits include the assumption of costs for lunch at school and daycare centres, school supplies and the assumption of costs for travelling to school and leisure activities. Children and young people can take part in sports clubs, music schools or cultural activities and take part in excursions and trips organised by the school or daycare centre. If pupils need support outside of school to achieve their learning goals, they also benefit from the education package.

With your application for benefits to secure your livelihood, you have automatically applied for the following educational package benefits for daycare centres or schools for yourself or your child:

  • free participation in one-day excursions and projects at the day-care centre or school
  • free lunch at daycare centre or school
  • Free participation in trips lasting several days at the daycare centre or school
  • provision of personal school supplies
  • Free school transport
  • assumption of costs for social and cultural participation

Your grant notification will contain a note to this effect. This means that you no longer have to apply for these educational package benefits separately and individually. However, you still have to submit certain documents to your benefits office.

Only the assumption of costs for learning support (tutoring) must be applied for separately. However, this is deemed to have been applied for on presentation of a school certificate.
