The Town Parent Committee for Schools is the town-wide representation of all parents and guardians whose children attend schools in Lingen. The committee represents the interests of the student body and takes up educational policy issues. Together with the town of Lingen (Ems), the Catholic Adult Education Centre and the Adult Education Centre (VHS), members of the Town Parent Committee have launched the Initiative ElternBildung-Lingen (the link is only available in German) – an offer for all parents and guardians.
