The Bavarian State Office of Schools
The Bavarian State Office of Schools is the central service provider of the Bavarian State Ministry of Education. We support schools throughout Bavaria in a variety of ways and fulfil tasks, particularly in the following areas:
- Management of school staff (HR)
- Financing of schools and support programs
- Recognition of foreign certificates
- Promotion of school sports
More than 170 specialists from administration, schools, and IT work together as a team every day to support Bavarian schools. We see ourselves as a customer-oriented service-provider, particularly for schools and school funding bodies, other educational institutions, and citizens seeking recognition of an educational qualification obtained outside of Bavaria.
We are also continuously working on digital solutions to facilitate daily administrative tasks schools are facing: Our new service-portals for schools (at:las) and for school funding bodies (sat:las) provide the foundation for efficient and user-friendly digital handling of school administrative processes.
Our office is directly subordinate to the Bavarian State Ministry of Education. In 2017, it was established in the Middle Franconian town of Gunzenhausen as part of the Bavarian government's strategy aimed at decentralising the state’s administration and relocating state agencies to rural and structurally weak areas.
