Canada noted the Special Rapporteur’s observation on the right to education, particularly the young age that children are selected for streaming into the academic and non-academic schools, and recommended that Germany consider enabling children to move between streams at a later age. Canada also recommended that special attention should be paid ensuring that children of migrant background are not denied academic opportunities based primarily on their acquired proficiency in the German language. Canada recommended that Germany explore with the Ministries of Education at the state levels the incorporation of more content in school curricula on the longstanding historical contribution of the Roma and Sinti communities to German society and culture.
