Ukrainian-German bilingual school may open in Berlin

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal has offered to consider the possibility of opening a Ukrainian-German bilingual school in Berlin.

He said this during a meeting with Governing Mayor of Berlin Michael Müller as part of his working visit to Germany, according to the Government portal.

"Education is the basis of development of the state. Given the large Ukrainian community living in and near the German capital, we would like to consider opening a Ukrainian-German bilingual school," Shmyhal said.

For his part, Müller supported the proposal to strengthen relations in the field of education. The mayor of Berlin noted that one of the steps in this direction could be the establishment of partnerships between Ukrainian and German schools for the exchange of students and schoolchildren.

As a reminder, on the occasion of the 207th anniversary of the birth of Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko, diplomats of the Ukrainian Embassy in Germany and representatives of the Ukrainian community honored the memory of the Great Kobzar by visiting Shevchenko’s willow in Berlin.
