Education and learning

Education begins with the upbringing in the family, is continued in the childcare centre and later at school, and develops during your studies. Lifelong learning continues your education and makes the continuous “refreshing” of knowledge and skills possible.

Northern Hesse has a lot of educational institutions and thus provides good conditions for an excellent education and a successful start to professional life.
