Indicator history

In general, the promotion of multilingualism has been favoured in the field of education policy already since 1996; the measures to implement these propositions remain very heterogeneous due to the education system, which is organised at the federal level (Motakef 2006, 29/30). Provisions to provide targeted mother language education and promotion for children with a migration background who are raised in a multilingual context have been discussed but not been implemented extensively on the national level yet. In kindergardens, the promotion of the mother language of children with migration background is hardly supported (BAMF 2010, 86).
