The Education Story

N-TV (our commercial news network here in Germany) had this short piece today....discussing the number of students in Germany.

According the German Federal Statistical Office (here in Wiesbaden).....there are eleven million students in the country (82.5 million residents total).

Out of this group....one in ten is noted as a non-German (foreigner).

The factor which stands out there and likely discussed each day by teachers...is that you have this vast landscape with dozens of nationalities....dozens of languages....dozens of backgrounds.  All of this leads to a very difficult teaching situation, and the potential for failure.
