Germany to expand integration courses for immigrants

New law will make courses mandatory for all newcomers

Move is part of government's efforts to improve integration of immigrants into German society

The German government has announced plans to expand integration courses for immigrants, making them mandatory for all newcomers. The move is part of the government's efforts to improve the integration of immigrants into German society.

The new law will require all immigrants who are not citizens of the European Union to complete an integration course within their first year of arrival in Germany. The courses will cover topics such as German language, history, culture, and values.

The government hopes that the new law will help to improve the integration of immigrants into German society. The courses will provide newcomers with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in Germany, and they will also help to break down barriers between immigrants and the native population.

Folk high schools to play key role in delivery of integration courses

Folk high schools will play a key role in the delivery of the new integration courses. Folk high schools are adult education centers that offer a variety of courses, including language classes, cultural studies, and vocational training.

Folk high schools have a long history of working with immigrants. They have experience in providing language instruction and cultural orientation, and they have a strong track record of helping immigrants to integrate into German society.

The government is providing funding to folk high schools to help them expand their capacity to deliver integration courses. The government is also working with folk high schools to develop new curricula and teaching materials.

Integration courses are part of a broader government strategy to improve integration

The new integration courses are part of a broader government strategy to improve the integration of immigrants into German society. The government is also investing in other measures, such as language classes, job training, and housing assistance.

The government believes that integration is essential for the success of both immigrants and Germany. Immigrants who are well-integrated are more likely to find jobs, learn German, and contribute to society.

The government's integration strategy is based on the principle that immigrants should be given the opportunity to succeed in Germany. The government is committed to providing immigrants with the support they need to integrate into German society.
