> So Turks in Germany can have schools in Turkish for their children? Do you have a source for this?

Sure: https://www.schulentwicklung.nrw.de/materialdatenbank/materi...

That's the official lesson plan for non-German lessons in NRW; other German states have similar plans (teaching is devolved to the states in Germany). Notice that this is the plan used in the state-sponsored lessons; private schools are free to use their own plans.




Umm guys, education is about children's rights and it has to be mandatory so that your parents won't be able to override your rights even if they have something against their minority language or against the language majority.

1. The right to mother tongue: wherever in the world, the child must learn the mother tongue(s) of their parents to support the cognitive and psychological development.

2. The right to participate in the society as an equal: the child must learn the official language(s) of the society well enough to be able to understand and participate in the democracy, business, art etc.

On top of that, the bulk of the school curriculum can be in a yet another language, no problem, as long as these rights are ensured as well.
