Sprachenpolitik und ihre Überschneidung mit der Bildungspolitik in Island bis zum Jahr 2030.

Abstract

The short summaries of the laws and policies in Iceland provide a glimpse into the political and educational discourse on educating students with diverse language and cultural backgrounds. Icelandic is the key to the society and education, yet active plurilingualism is valuable to students, families, and the society. The inclusive school system respects and builds on students´ diverse backgrounds and languages and strives to provide equitable opportunities to education to all children. Throughout the laws and policies shines the strong will to educate well-rounded citizens who respect democratic values and human rights and who participate in the Icelandic society.
