Out of these sixteen schools Aziz Nesin School is the only Turkish-German “Europe School”, targeting children with Turkish and German as a native language. The concept of the school is that of “linguistic equity in the classroom”. The body of teachers/students is 50 percent Turkish and 50 per cent German. Both languages are treated equally, subjects are taught in German and Turkish alike
