In Styria, a compulsory kindergarten year before starting school has been introduced in 2010. So kindergarten attendance up to 30 hours per week for all five-year-olds is free charge.  A new model with attendance fees for full-day care and care for children between three and six years of age, respectively- dependent on income - exists since September 2011.

SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION

School attendance is compulsory for all children living permanently in Austria. Children, who have turned six years of age, have to start school in September after their sixth birthday. Compulsory school attendance in Austria lasts nine years.
The first four years children generally go to elementary school. After that comes either junior high school* or a so called “general secondary school” for another four years. Thereafter,  you either go to a “polytechnical” school for one year or move on to a general secondary school for another four or five years.  

The educational- and school system in Austria is very manifold and offers a great variety of school types (humanities, economics, technical schools, etc.). So children can receive a broad spectrum of training and education, depending on their skills and competences.
