DDS – Die Deutsche Schule: Issue 2/2022, 114. Volume Demography is Overrated

Demography plays an important role in school development planning. The use of nonschool and digital spaces can reduce this relevance and take sustainability and resource conservation into account. “Breathing” schools can expand to or retreat from locations in their neighbourhood as needed. In addition, a “home office” for students in higher grades can reduce the need for traditional school space.
