Accidents within scope of pupil accident insurance

The term 'pupil' refers to children in schools, nursery schools and day-care facilities, pupils at general schools and vocational colleges, and students. By analogy, the term 'school' also refers to children's day-care centres and institutions of higher education.
In the area of pupil accident insurance, any accident which results in treatment by a doctor is reportable. In 2010, 1,307,348 reportable school accidents were recorded, representing a rise of 4.2 % from 73.25 to 76.35 per 1,000 pupils.
The new pensions resulting from school accidents dropped by 17.6 %, to 619. The risk of a serious school accident thus fell from 0.044 to 0.036 per 1,000 pupils, a decrease of 17.8 %.
At 124,572, the number of reportable school commuting accidents rose by 7.8 % over the previous year; the risk of accident rose by 7.5 %, to 7.28 per 1,000 pupils. The number of new pensions resulting from school commuting accidents rose by 1.0 % to 317 cases.
