Principle of openness introduced for independent schools

This means that the public should have the right to access public documents, even from private school operators. The principle of openness already applies to municipal school operations.

Smaller principals with a maximum of 450 students and preschools with a maximum of 100 children will receive certain relief in handling public documents.

As a general rule, smaller operators should archive documents for at least seven years.

The law comes into effect on January 1, 2027. During the first two years, all principals in the school system will receive certain relief.
