Back-to-school allowance

Registrations will be open from 1 June 2021 until 31 October for anyone wishing to benefit from the back-to-school allowance (ARS) 2021-2022. For the first time, this one-off assistance will be accessible to families without the usual identification documents. The ARS will be issued in the form of an electronic payment card valid in a network of partner stores. The ARS totals 130 francs per year for a child in primary education and 180 francs for a child in lower secondary level.
