  \ includes teaching and other forms of organised work with pupils, apprentices,\
  \ pupils or students of higher education institutions (hereinafter referred to as\
  \ 'teaching obligation'), preparation for lessons, correction and evaluation of\
  \ products and other work necessary for the implementation of the educational programme.\
  \ Preparation for teaching includes ongoing preparation in terms of content, methods\
  \ and didactic aids.\nOther work includes cooperation with parents, participation\
  \ in the school's professional bodies, performing the duties of a class teacher,\
  \ organised professional education and training, collecting and processing data\
  \ relating to the performance of educational and other work, mentoring pupils, apprentices,\
  \ high school and college students, cooperation with schools and higher education\
  \ institutions that train professional staff, mentoring trainees, tidying up classrooms,\
  \ collections, school workshops, gymnasiums, playgrounds, allotments, etc., organising\
  \ cultural, sporting and other generally useful and humanitarian actions involving\
  \ pupils, apprentices or students, preparing and conducting excursions, trips, competitions,\
  \ nature schools, holidays, camps organised by the school and other tasks laid down\
  \ in the annual work plan.\nThe Primary School Act stipulates that the annual work\
  \ plan of a school shall determine the content, scope and distribution of educational\
  \ and other work in accordance with the curriculum and the syllabus, and the scope,\
  \ content and distribution of extracurricular and other activities. In addition,\
  \ the school shall determine the work of the advisory service, the library, the\
  \ activities it carries out, the forms of cooperation with external institutions\
  \ and other tasks it carries out which are necessary for the implementation of the\
  \ school's programme. The school shall also determine the hours of operation and\
  \ office hours by means of house rules.\nUnder the HRA, the employer must determine\
  \ the time and place of work or the timetable of working hours. This means that\
  \ the head teacher must determine the annual working time schedule and inform the\
  \ workers and the trade union before the start of the school year.\nThe head teacher,\
  \ who is the pedagogical head and the school's governing body, organises, plans\
  \ and manages the school's work. He/she is responsible for the preparation and implementation\
  \ of the school's annual work plan and is therefore also responsible for the allocation\
  \ of staff working time.\nProfessional staff in the school are entitled to at least\
  \ 20 working days of annual leave. It may be taken at such times as the Minister\
  \ may determine in the school calendar, but not later than the end of the school\
  \ year in the following year.\n "
