The German Education System: An Impediment to Integration of Turkish Youths into Society - A Modest Proposal

Maas, Jennifer Marie

Abstract Details

2012, BA, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies.
The integration of Turks into German society is the central theme of this thesis. Chapters one through five serve to familiarize the reader with the multicultural society of Germany, its minorities, the Turkish population, and the divide which segregates Turks from the German population and the attempts which have been made to integrate them into German society. The contemporary German education system is considered the main factor for the limited success at integration. Chapters six through ten inform the reader about the German education system, and present the problem that integration has failed due to the structure of secondary schools in Germany and the placement of students into these institutions. The later chapters also present two solutions to better integrate Turkish youths into German society: a reform to the German education system in particular its secondary schools and the placement process and the implementation of Turkish as a second language in German secondary schools. These changes will permit Turkish youths to attain a more comprehensive education which will enable them to succeed socially and financially in German society.
