Denmark: Funding boost for schools with high immigrant enrollment

Via the Copenhagen Post:Link
Schools with high proportions of bilingual and non-ethnic Danish children will receive extra funding to help raise students' language skills.

The initiative, outlined in the government’s new budget, will deliver one million kroner per year over three years to each of 14 national schools whose student make-up is comprised of at least 40 percent non-ethnic Danes.

“It’s incredibly important to strengthen our integration efforts,” Christine Antorini, the children and teaching minister, told Politiken newspaper. “Schools with high proportions of children from non-Danish ethnic backgrounds need extra economic help.”
