    • Abstract:
      Why do children of "migration background"--whose families may have arrived in Germany as many as two generations ago but are still perceived as "foreigners"--often perform significantly worse at school than their native German counterparts? The problem is discrimination. This report gives a face and a voice to the discrimination that many children of migration background experience in Berlin. Its purpose is to show, through concrete stories, that discrimination in schools against migrant children is widespread--and to call on all Berliners to condemn and end it.
