Because there aren’t enough schools in the capital, hundreds of children can’t find a place at a high school – and are somehow assigned somewhere. Sometimes the school is 30 kilometers away, sometimes it’s in English. How chaos wears down families.

A twelve-year-old boy wants to go to school. However, this is not so easy, because the boy lives in Berlin. A few weeks before the summer holidays, he still didn’t have a place at school there because the Berlin authorities couldn’t allocate one to him. And the 12-year-old is not the only one with this fate. In June, 170 Berlin children still didn’t know which school they would go to from mid-August.
