Language education and promotion along the educational biography

Language is an important prerequisite for a self-determined and independent life. And vice versa, when children and young people fail at school, a lack of language skills, in this case German skills, is often a reason.

In Wolfsburg, therefore, an overall concept for promoting language skills "along the educational biography" will be developed over the next few years, which will coordinate and further develop existing measures in this area. The goal is to ensure that as many children as possible learn German at a level that will enable them to be successful in school and at work.

Close cooperation between educational institutions is necessary in order to support children and young people in developing their language skills in a well-coordinated manner - from daycare to vocational training. In the school sector, however, this also requires the promotion of German language skills not only in German lessons, but also a systematic combination of language and subject learning in all school subjects.

In order to achieve this goal, not only parents but also other players in Wolfsburg's educational landscape are involved.

The language education and support project thus makes a significant contribution to the city of Wolfsburg's overall inclusion project.
