Berlin Schools Enforce Stricter Punctuality Rules

New regulations aim to address frequent tardiness and prevent school absenteeism.

Berlin has introduced a revised school attendance regulation to tackle frequent student tardiness.
Under the new rules, each unexcused tardiness after two instances is recorded as a missed hour.
After five days of unexcused absences, schools must notify the local school authority.
Exceptions to these rules include delays caused by public transportation issues.
The involvement of youth welfare offices is not automatic and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
