Indicator history

The most important element of German federal integration policy is the integration course programme. It consists of two components: a basic and an advanced language course, and an orientation course with the aim to obtain a basic knowledge of the legal system, culture, history and political system of Germany.
In addition, while the National Integration Plan does not directly implement concrete measures, the National Action Plan postulates concrete, obligatory and testable goals for future policies and practises in the field of integration.
