Parallel Integration

Enabling the successful integration of refugee students into the German schooling system poses a crucial challenge for the coming years. Drawing from the human rights frame- work of the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies standards, we applied a rights-based approach to policy analysis on educational provisions for refugee students from 2012 to 2018. According to international and European law, Germany is obliged to grant similar access to education for nationals as well as refugee children and youth. In reality, the realization of educational rights varies from state to state. This will be highlighted and discussed in this article, using the example of two very different German states, Hamburg and Saxony. The sudden rise of numbers of refugees led only slowly to an increase in educational policy density and intensity on federal state and national levels in 2016 and 2017. We find that the differences in compulsory schooling, models of integration into schooling, and the asylum and settlement policies in both states shape the educational participation of refugee children and youths. Both states implemented parallel integration models that might bear risks of stigmatization and limit educational possibilities. However, transition and language support concepts in both contexts contain integrative phases offer- ing language supports in the regular classrooms. Asylum policies and state-specific settlement policies have profound implications for the rights and access to education. Further, vocational education and training programs play a crucial role, especially in Saxony, to tackle demographic challenges.

The method originally presented by Godunov and modified by Conte for solution of two-point boundary-value problems, is outlined here as applied to eigenvalue problems. The method (which avoids the loss of accuracy resulting from the numerical treatment, often associated with stability and vibration analysis of elastic bodies) consists of parallel integration of the set of k homogeneous equations under the Kronecker-delta initial conditions which are orthogonal (k being the number of “missing” conditions), after each step. Subject to Conte’s test, the set of solutions is reorthogonalized by the Gram-Schmidt procedure and integration continues. The procedure prevents flattening of the base solutions, which otherwise become numerically dependent. The method is applied to stability analysis of polar orthotropic plates, and as in the isotropic case (as shown by Yamaki), it is seen that assumption of symmetric buckling results in a stability overestimate for an annular plate.
