Denmark: School officials may offer Arabic language classes
May 20, 2009
Copenhagen -- School pupils in Copenhagen may soon be able to study Arabic as a second language under a new proposal that seeks to give a boost to children from immigrant families, city officials said Monday.
'It is very important that we give students a choice of languages that includes Arabic, as there is a need to give a helping hand to young people from the Arab-speaking countries to reinforce their education and integration into Danish society,' Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard, the city's vice-mayor in charge of youth policy, told AFP.
It would be offered alongside other foreign languages already taught in Denmark such as English, French and German.
