- 36 students receive a scholarship for study abroad
36 Students from Saxony can look forward to a scholarship for a four-week school visit abroad. The educational trip is set to begin at the end of September, as announced by the Saxon Ministry of Education. The destination countries are France, Great Britain, Italy, Malta, Czech Republic, Spain, and the USA. In these countries, the 27 girls and 9 boys will live with host families, experience daily life, and attend school. A total of around 100,000 euros has been made available for this purpose.
"The school visit abroad strengthens the personality and independence of our young people," said Saxony's Minister of Education Christian Piwarz (CDU). In addition to linguistic progress, the goal is also to broaden horizons. "Education across borders connects, fosters tolerance, and expands one's own horizons." This year, around 200 students applied for the scholarship.
The scholarship opportunity is aimed at providing a diverse educational experience, encouraging both linguistic growth and the broadening of horizons. This form of education, known as "education across borders," is instrumental in fostering tolerance and expanding one's perspective.
