Schools & Education
The structure of the district is characterised by small primary schools, primary, lower secondary and intermediate schools, the so-called middle schools, four classical grammar schools, two cooperative and one integrated comprehensive school, six public special schools and two vocational schools, one of which has a vocational grammar school. The Schools and Education Department is the school authority and responsible for all school planning matters such as school development, school organisation, pupil transport, school districts, school construction and school room programmes.
In addition, the specialised service is responsible for ensuring care and all-day services for a reliable school, school social work, pro-occupational orientation and cooperation with other educational institutions such as the legally independent vocational schools, the Technical University of Central Hesse and the School & Business Working Group.
