According to the Bavarian Ministry of Education, nearly one in five preschool children in Bavaria is required to attend compulsory German language courses before starting school.
A recent statewide assessment revealed that roughly 18 % of the nearly 130,000 children who will start school in the 2026/27 semester demonstrated insufficient German language skills.
The initiative to test the children is part of Bavaria’s newly implemented “language proficiency screening,” aimed at reducing educational disadvantages and enhancing social integration.
Education Minister Anna Stolz emphasized that “language is the key to educational success and social participation.”
A similar test was recently conducted among first-graders, which concluded with the shocking revelation that one in three children are unable to speak German well enough to attend classes.
The results are part of a wider problem in Germany: the massive scale of immigration combined with a lack of integration has resulted in a growing number of children unable to follow classes.
