Number of new participants in integration courses per year
The total number of new participants in integration courses in Germany has been fluctuating in recent years. In 2022, around 178,000 people started an integration course, which is significantly less than in the previous year (approx. 228,000). In the years before 2022, the number of new participants was even higher: in 2016, for example, there were around 352,000 new participants, in 2017 around 388,000 and in 2018 around 326,000.
There are several reasons for the decline in the number of new participants in integration courses. One reason could be the decline in the number of refugees coming to Germany. In 2015 and 2016, there was a particularly high influx of refugees, many of whom took part in integration courses. Another reason could be the fact that integration courses have become more expensive in recent years. Since 2020, participants have had to pay a fee of 200 euros for an integration course. This could have deterred some people from taking part in an integration course.
Despite the decline in the number of new participants, integration courses remain an important instrument for the integration of immigrants in Germany. Integration courses enable immigrants to learn German and acquire basic knowledge about German society and law. This knowledge is essential for immigrants to be able to participate fully in German society.
The German government is aware of the importance of integration courses and is therefore taking steps to make them more accessible. For example, the government has announced that it will increase the number of places available in integration courses. The government is also working to reduce the costs of integration courses for participants.
