In the new school year, around 171,000 first graders will start in North Rhine-Westphalia. This was announced by the Ministry of Education on request. This means that around 5,000 more “I-Dötzchen” start their school careers than a year earlier.
Most of the approximately 2.5 million students will return to their schools on August 10th after six and a half weeks of summer vacation. For the ABC shooters, the first day of school is on August 10th or 11th. However, school enrollment must be scheduled for the second day of school after the summer holidays at the latest.

“The first day of school is a very special day for all children and their families. A new and formative phase of life begins when you start school,” emphasized the new Minister of Education, Dorothee Feller (CDU). On their way through school life, she wishes all first graders “a lot of joy and success, exciting lessons with teachers who can inspire them, and always a great togetherness with their classmates”.
