A child participating in an afternoon activity who already has the right to a school transport benefit under Section 32 of the Basic Education Act must have the opportunity to use this benefit. However, the municipality is not obliged to separately arrange transport for the afternoon activity. According to the justification for the act, the provision is intended to guide the planning of activities and does not oblige the municipality to arrange transport. The need for transport is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The education provider is not obliged to arrange transport from school club activities to home or vice versa. The aim is to enable regular participation in club activities by students entitled to school transport by making use of later departures of public transport or closed transport where there is space.
