Migrants who worked as teachers in their home countries are getting the chance to teach again in German schools thanks to a new program at the University of Potsdam. The program gives refugee teachers German language lessons as well as seminars on the German school system and teaching methods used in the country. Germany urgently needs more teachers to educate refugee children and the program is a good way to give well-educated migrants the chance to take jobs in the fields that they already had jobs in or have studied for. Some politicians argue the record influx of refugees could help alleviate a labor shortage caused partly by the ageing of the population, and if more schemes like this can be replicated in other professions to give migrants the training and language skills that they lack, then more jobs can be filled where they are needed.
