North Rhine-Westphalia is an immigration state. Demographic developments show that one –third of all children and teenagers in this German federal state have a migration background (75 % in the Hauptschule). And the number is still growing. Experts forecast that it will increase to fifty percent in the next ten to fifteen years, especially in urban city areas.
Schools in certain neighborhoods have lots of students who cannot speak German properly. This makes it very difficult to teach and the learning progress is very low To compensate this, NRW recruits additional teachers for schools with a high number of students with migration background.
The international PISA studies revealed that there is still a huge gap between students with and without migration background. So instead of just sending more teachers into the school the state started a new survey that measures the integration with indicators like the German language skills, the number of students staying down, the number of students sent to special schools and the number of positive transfer from school to the working world. After reviewing the currents situation, goals are formulated to improve the integration level. This changed the attitude of most schools according to this problem. Teachers feel more responsible to integrate minority groups.
A lot of school books changed the stories to integrate more students from other countries. More and more schools have open doors tilll afternoon to offer tutor classes and a positive learning enviroment. Many schools offer language classes of at least lubs to integrate the culture and language of our immigrants - most of them for the Turkish students because the biggest group of migrants are from Turkey.
