Alarming language deficits: 65% of the Bremerhaven lists affected!

Borgfeld, Deutschland - The results of the language status determination were recently published in Bremerhaven and the numbers are alarming. According to Buten 65 percent of the preschools have language deficits, a significant increase compared to the previous year, than was 55 percent. This trend continues in schools, because the quota of the children with linguistic difficulties in the first graders is 62 percent.

The districts of Gröpelingen and Blumenthal are particularly affected, where almost three quarters of the children fight with language deficits in the last day of daycare. In contrast, more and more children can speak German well in the districts of Schwachhausen and Borgfeld, which indicates a positive trend. In Bremen itself, almost half of the children tested in autumn had difficulty with the German language, and the language support rate among the first graders slightly dropped from 43 percent to 41 percent.

challenges and measures

The results illustrate an important challenge for education policy in Bremen. The educational authority has therefore recognized the importance of early promotion of language development. With a well -structured program, children who have residues in their development should be addressed. The annual language status determination was also introduced in other federal states, such as NRW, where the test period in 2025 is determined from March to the summer holidays and all children without pre -school institutions are to be recorded. These tests are crucial to ensure that children have the language skills that will help them in later life to be successful in school lessons and beyond. The School Ministry NRW emphasizes that linguistic development also offers an essential basis for social contacts and personal development.

Nationwide, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Numerous initiatives to promote linguistic education early on childhood. Programs such as “reading start” promote reading aloud in everyday family life and are particularly aimed at children with escape experience. These measures are not only important to improve language skills, but also to increase the opportunities for educational success and social participation.

The way to the future

The fact that over 90 percent of children between the ages of three and six visit a daycare center or a kindergarten offers a good starting point for further linguistic support measures. Experts agree: the earlier children are encouraged, the better they can develop their language skills and thus lay the basics for their further school and professional career. It is clear that in Bremen there must be more work on this topic in order to get the increasing language deficits under control.

The increasing numbers make it clear that the need for good linguistic education is more urgent than ever. The goal remains to give all children the best chance of a successful future. A good hand in early childhood education could be the key to success.
