Germany - Bilingual goal for jobs
Print Edition
A western German state bordering France has announced plans to make the region bilingual within a generation — a strategy it hopes will improve its economic prospects.
Saarland, a former mining region of about 1 million people, has been struggling with high debt and a declining population. The state government Tuesday proposed introducing French teaching for all young children and making knowledge of French a condition for recruiting public employees; it said French citizens could be hired for some government jobs. The aim is for Saarland to be multilingual by 2043 and an “indispensable as a bridge to Germany and gateway to France.”
