I am a Beglian living abroad, raised and educated in Gent. I beg to provide an alternative view on the topic.
I am all for multi-lingual education, I was lucky to have had it myself, and to speak a few languages myself. I am also all for integration, and respecting the local community one immigrates into. When one immigrates to a regions, one is better prepared to learn the local language, and one is better prepared to integrate. Holding up that mirror is not an easy one, demanding that the local tax payer finances special education, and provides classes in Turkish, Arabic in all its flavors, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, English, French, Swahili, German, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovenian,…. is easier. Where does much become too much? Where do you draw the line, which languages are in and which ones are out?
