Thousands of students in Austria must attend a mandatory summer school program focused on German language skills. This new requirement affects 15,700 students identified as needing German language support, with classes held during the last two weeks of summer vacation. Unexcused absences can result in fines. The program, expanded from a voluntary initiative, aims to improve integration and ease the transition into the new school year for students with lower German proficiency.
