Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) - Portuguese and Arabic will be subjects taught in schools in Hesse in the 2023/2024 school year. If there is sufficient demand, they would be offered as a second or third foreign language, the Ministry of Education announced on Wednesday in Wiesbaden. Depending on what their school offers, students in Hesse can currently learn the foreign languages English, French, Latin, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Polish and ancient Greek.
In a pilot project, Turkish will also be offered as a second and third foreign language at the beginning of the 2022/2023 school year at the Georg-August-Zinn-European School in Kassel and at the Clemens-Brentano-European School in Lollar. Other schools could follow in the school year thereafter.
