Overview

• Karin Prien’s July 3 proposal for a non-binding migration quota in school classes has been met with unified opposition from major education organizations.
• The Bundesschülerkonferenz and the German Teachers’ Association labeled the quota discriminatory and warned it would be impractical to enforce.
• Bavaria’s Anna Stolz and Rhineland-Palatinate’s Sven Teuber formally rejected legal caps, advocating inclusive learning and integration instead of separation.
• All parties now agree that mandatory early German language diagnostics and targeted support measures are the key priorities for incoming pupils.
• With about 42 percent of students having migration backgrounds and education under state authority, federal recommendations carry no legal enforcement power.
