In short
Reading time: 1 min- What changes:
- The act gives the Training School legal basis (the rule in the law that gives the right to do something) to set rules on order and conduct, and it may set out the cases in which non-compliance can lead to sanctions such as expulsion, temporary exclusion, transfer to another education programme and temporary loss of student support.
- The school may also set rules on unannounced room inspections of participants at its boarding department when it knows of, or has reasonable suspicion of, breaches.
- The school may also hold back up to 10 percent of student support for later payment.
- Who: The rules apply to participants on the Training School's labour market education programmes, who are young people aged 18-30 with special adjustment difficulties. Room inspections apply to participants who live at the school's boarding department.
- When: The Act entered into force on 1 January 2026.
