Reports indicate that about one-third of schoolchildren in Germany come from families with a migrant background, posing a challenge for the education system.

Teacher associations are calling for mandatory German language tests before children start school, aiming to ensure that all pupils have sufficient language skills to follow lessons.

Educators argue that poor language proficiency is a major cause of learning difficulties and later educational gaps. They stress that early support is essential to guarantee equal opportunities for all students.
