The budget woes of the Berlin traffic light have consequences for the German School in Brussels. The international school with excellence status is attended by many children of EU diplomats and Members of Parliament. On Wednesday, an email arrived in parents’ inboxes that began like this: „The German government’s budget has been preoccupying politicians, the media and those directly affected in Germany for weeks.“ The cuts that have been decided upon also affect the Federal Office for Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for schools abroad. „Against this background, we have been informed by the German authorities that the planned new building will not take place.“
