Jena School Fair

All of Jena's state and independent elementary school, grammar schools, community and comprehensive schools will be represented at the fair. All three state vocational schools in the city, an independent vocational school and the Thuringia International School Weimar will also be present. The Jena State Regional Support Center and the East Thuringia State Education Authority will be on hand at a stand to provide advice on schooling for pupils with special needs.

The Jena school administration will be on hand to answer all school-related questions for which the local authority is responsible, such as school registration or school transportation. The Family Service of the Citizens' Service will provide information on after-school care fees and student grants (BAföG).
