Germany’s education authorities have forced the closure of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer International School.
The Christian hybrid school combines in-school and at-home learning for children, but the authorities claimed the school was ‘displacing’ state-mandated education.
In a letter to the school’s lawyer, the authorities said ‘the immediate enforcement of the prohibitions is ordered’, preventing students from attending the new school year.
The letter also said, ‘The prohibition … serves to protect the state’s educational mandate. In the now-closed school, the state’s educational mandate … would be completely displaced.’
