(Anadolu) A conservative lawmaker sparked criticism by suggesting that immigrant children must only speak German in schoolrooms, corridors and in the playground.
Mario Czaja, secretary general of the Christian Democratic Union, claimed that many immigrants are poorly integrated into society due to insufficient German language skills, and called for new measures at schools.
“Care should be taken to ensure that German is the main language spoken in schools. It is not acceptable for languages other than German to be spoken in the schoolyard,” Czaja told the Die Welt newspaper.
The senior politician of … Germany’s main opposition party argued that more language experts, social workers and pedagogues should be hired for schools in places where many migrants live.
