In the following I will briefly provide a theoretical framework by reflecting on the scientific debate on education and intercultural pedagogy. After a sketch of the German school system and its discriminatory effects, I will reflect the discourse on the low achievements of migrant students, on ‘problematic schools’ and on the ‘threat of Islam’. Second, I will analyse education policies and recommendations on the national and state (Länder) levels. Finally, I will give some insights into practices in Berlin schools as well as investigate the statements of three headmasters and an elected parents’ representative. Apart from interviews with these four central figures in their respective school policies, the study is based on interviews with policy makers and experts in the field of education and integration, conducted between June and August 2007, as well as on the review of policy papers and secondary literature.
