38% of children in German schools now come from a migrant background
The German school system is on the verge of collapse because of mass migration, according to the president of the German Teachers’ Association.
Stefan Düll told the DTS news agency that the sheer number of immigrants is putting an unbearable strain on teachers and schools.
“Due to immigration in 2015, the war in Ukraine and other immigration, new people are constantly coming into the system, but the system is slow to keep up because it is moving too fast.”
One particular problem is that a significant proportion of these newcomers speak little or even no German at all.
“How are we supposed to teach them?” Düll added.
He added that the presence of more migrants was a demotivating force in classrooms: “The higher the percentage of immigrants, the more difficult it is to motivate the class.”
RMX News reported last year that a full quarter of all German 4th graders can’t even read.
A National Education Report was released on Monday. It showed that minimum educational requirements are not being met at levels never seen before.
In the capital Berlin, for example, 40% of students do not speak German as their native language, and in some cities like Hamburg, the majority of students are now migrants. Thirty-eight percent of children in German schools have migrant backgrounds.
As well as reducing literacy levels, the influx of foreigners is also making Germany’s schools far less safe. Police interventions have risen sharply. In Berlin, in 2023, police were called to schools on average five times a day.
In March, two Berlin schoolchildren aged nine and ten were stabbed by a migrant in Duisburg, and in April a student and teacher were hospitalized when the teacher intervened to stop a beating by a migrant gang.
