Peticioni i drejtohet: Innenministerin Nancy Faeser und der Petitionsausschuss der Bundesregierung Deutschland

Dear Ms. Fraeser,
In the coming year, the federal government of Germany plans to cut funds for integration, language, and alphabetization courses for migrants by half, from 1.1 billion to 500 million Euros. These courses enable migrants not only to learn the local language but also to understand German society and interact with locals in their daily lives. Additionally, finding work is only possible with a sufficient degree of language proficiency.
The funding for these courses should not be reduced; it must remain steady!
In the coming years, we will need skilled workers in Germany, not only university graduates but also those who work in healthcare, crafts, and gastronomy. Even today, 13 percent of all teachers, 28 percent of doctors, 29 percent of mail delivery workers, and 41 percent of cleaning staff in Germany have a migration background.
If you take integration and the fight against a shortage of skilled workers seriously, you must revoke your plans!
