Almost 500,000 places for all-day care still missing by 2026

A legal entitlement to all-day care for primary school pupils is to be introduced in the 2026/2027 school year. The report puts the number of places to be created by then at 470,000. The All-Day Support Act obliges the government to submit a report on the expansion status every year. This has now happened for the first time.

Federal Minister for Family Affairs Lisa Paus (Greens) emphasized that the government is pushing ahead with the expansion together with the federal states and local authorities. However, skilled workers are still needed. The government is trying to recruit more junior staff with qualification programs.

All-day care is an "opportunity for all schoolchildren to have a good start in life and fair participation, regardless of their parents' background or income", explained Paus. "Parents can better reconcile family and career thanks to all-day care."
