Are you and your family in Germany as asylum seekers? Then of course you want your children to do well - and be able to go to school. But how does that work? Do you get help? And what do you have to do yourself?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

This means: All children have the right to an education.<\/b><\/span> And they have to go to school<\/b><\/span>as soon as they are registered.<\/p>\n \u00a0Compulsory schooling begins in most federal states with 6 years<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Children in the asylum process receive support - often more than many people think:<\/p>\n Your child gets a place in a Elementary school<\/b><\/span> or secondary school<\/b><\/span> (depending on age).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In the first few months, it often gets into a \"Welcome class\"<\/b><\/span> or \"Language learning class\"<\/b><\/span>to learn German.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n It then moves to a normal class.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/span>Example:<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n 10-year-old Sara comes from Iraq with her family. She is initially placed in a language class.
