School begins: Mixed feelings among 840,000 students in Lower Saxony!
Today is the day: August 14, 2025 marks the start of the new school year after the summer holidays. An exciting time for many students and teachers, even if the anticipation in this year group is mixed. Loud NDR An online survey shows that only 47% of students are actually looking forward to the new school year. 53% are less enthusiastic and answer “probably no”. A total of 413 votes were cast, which indicates a divided mood.
The students had a lot of time on their hands during the summer holidays, but opinions about the vacation also differ. Satisfaction is divided: 228 votes rated the vacation as “top,” while 201 participants considered it a “flop.” So we're starting the new season with mixed feelings.
Student numbers and school enrollment
What about the teachers? There are challenges here too: the search for qualified teachers remains a major issue because the education sector urgently needs support.
The weather and its effects
With this in mind, we wish everyone a successful start to school and many exciting experiences in the new school year!
