PARLIAMENT REJECTS SPECIAL CLASSES FOR IMMIGRANTS CHILDREN

lunes, 6 de abril de 2009


The European Parliament has approved the report which recommends Member States to prevent the creation of special classes for immigrant children.

With 431 votes in favour, 55 against and 94 abstentions, the plenary of the Parliament approved a report which finds that the formula for the separate classes encourages "the formation of ghettos in schools. “
This measure is to build an integration of linguistic infants. MEPs also reiterate the obligation of parents to learn the language of the host state.
Another of the objectives targeted by this recommendation is to avoid the segregation of children and build greater social cohesion.
However, MEPs consider the importance of preschool education and integration should be facilitated since the earliest stages of life of individuals.
"The sooner and better integrate immigrant children and youth in schools, they will perform better in school".
