In Austria exists a head scarf ban in schools. It is valid for girls under 14 years. Expert persons expected many school leaves. But this does not happen. The numbers stay almost the same.
Parents may teach their children at home. This is home lessons. In home lessons the head scarf is allowed.
In Austria exist about 2000 leaves. This are only 100 more than last year. Only a small part are girls under 14 years.
Most leaves exist in Lower Austria. Then follow Styria and Vienna. Boys are more often taken off school than girls.
The rules for home lessons are today harder. Parents must report the leave earlier. Children must make hard tests.
