A damning new report lays the immigration crisis bare in Germany’s school system, outlining how students with an immigration background have lower vocational school qualifications, fewer career options, and constitute the vast majority of school dropouts.
The “Maltese Migration Report 2025” outlines the ongoing migration crisis in German schools, which Remix News has reported on a regular basis.
Among the findings is that 75 percent of all school dropouts in Germany in 2023 have a migration background.
The promise that newcomers — and their children — would be a boon for the German economy has been debunked in many areas, but the new report underlines that the situation is not likely to improve in the near future due to a faltering education system.

The data further shows that more than 30 percent of students in Germany have a migration background.

Half of those without vocational training are from immigrant families. Those with an immigrant background perform worse on standardized testing than native Germans.
“Compared to their peers without an immigration background, children with an immigration background perform worse in mathematics and science. This cannot be allowed to happen,” Feld told Bild newspaper. “If we fail to successfully address this area of social and educational policy, we will simply be ignoring enormous potential for our country.”
“Those who remain in Germany without a school or vocational qualification are more likely than average to have an immigration background. This cannot be ignored” said Sebastian Schilgen, managing director of the Malteser Werke.
The report identifies the man issues are clear language deficits and failures regarding early education.
Approximately 13 percent of children in daycares do not speak German with their families. In addition, children with a migration background between three and six are much less likely to attend daycare facilities, amounting to 77 percent. Meanwhile, 99 percent of children without a migration background attend daycare.

Teachers mocked, lessons disrupted, and even physical assaults.

— Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) May 6, 2025As Remix News has previously reported, it is not just an issue with language, but also an issue of attitude of students with a migration background. Teachers report insults, disrespect, bullying, and assaults, with those schools with the highest migrant populations generally featuring the most chaos.
