  • Study time affected by force majeure may be compensated by prolonging the school year according to the actual conditions at that time. This measure will be implemented in the event that the School Management Board deems it necessary to ensure that educational objectives of SY 2023-2024 will not be compromised, after ensuring that the extension of the school year is feasible and that the terms of commitments in the contract between the School and the teachers/staff are not contravened.
