Literacy courses for asylum seekers; application for funding

The Free State of Bavaria is funding literacy courses for asylum seekers as part of a pilot project.

Description

Purpose

The purpose of the grant is to promote literacy courses for asylum seekers, tolerated persons and recognized asylum seekers with a residence or habitual abode in Bavaria of less than two years as far as possible throughout Bavaria. The aim is to give these people the ability to read and write German as early as possible.

Object:

Funding is provided for literacy courses for asylum seekers, tolerated persons and recognized asylum seekers (residence/habitual residence in Bavaria for less than two years).

Recipients of funding

All legal entities under public and private law are eligible for funding.

Eligible costs

  • Cost item 1: 35 euros (lump sum) per proven teaching unit (= 45 minutes)
  • Cost item 2: 40 euros (lump sum) per proven project leader hour (= 60 minutes). Depending on the scope of the course (100, 200 or 300 teaching units), a maximum of 20 project leader hours per course can be funded.
  • Cost item 3: 35 euros (lump sum) per proven teaching unit for socio-educational support. Depending on the scope of the course (100, 200 or 300 teaching units), a maximum of up to 50 additional teaching units per course can be funded for socio-educational support.
  • Cost item 4: 5 euros (lump sum) per proven teaching unit (= 45 minutes) for equipment and teaching and learning materials
  • Cost item 5: Indirect costs are eligible for funding at a flat rate of 12% of the direct costs (cost items 1-4).

Type and amount

The grant is awarded as project funding in the form of lump-sum proportional funding. The grant from the Free State of Bavaria can amount to a maximum of 90% of the eligible lump-sum total costs. The own funds must amount to at least 10%.

Prerequisites

  • The target group is all foreigners aged 15 and over who are entitled to benefits in accordance with Section 1 of the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act (AsylbLG); also all persons entitled to asylum, recognized refugees, persons entitled to subsidiary protection, persons with a residence permit in accordance with Section 24 of the Residence Act or a corresponding fictitious certificate and persons with a residence permit in accordance with Section 22 of the Residence Act or a corresponding declaration of acceptance by the Federal Republic of Germany who have been resident or ordinarily resident in Bavaria for less than two years (narrow target group).
  • If there is actually access to literacy courses elsewhere, in particular to special integration courses, these courses should be given priority.
  • If a participant has access to educational opportunities at school, they can still take part in a literacy course, provided that this does not interfere with their participation in the school course. This model project is to be used by the target group defined above with priority over the "ALPHA+ besser lesen und schreiben" (ALPHA+ better reading and writing) support program of the StMUK.
  • Persons from safe countries of origin according to § 29a AsylG and Annex II to the Asylum Act are not eligible to participate.
  • The funding recipient must submit a concept that corresponds to the general intentions of the funding project and takes into account any special local circumstances with regard to the course participants.
  • A course is only eligible for funding if there are at least five participants.
  • A course must be designed for 100, 200 or 300 teaching units of 45 minutes each; the learning and performance level of the participants must also be assessed within this framework. Up to 15 percent of the teaching units can be held using alternative learning methods (e.g. in online format). If the course includes teaching units to compensate for basic education deficits in mathematics and economics (e.g. handling money), these must take place as part of regular lessons. Exceptionally, for the funding period 01.01.2023 to 31.12.2023, it is possible to conduct up to 30% of the course using alternative teaching methods (online format).
  • Teachers must have a degree in education or a degree in "German as a second language" or "German as a foreign language" or professional experience in basic education or language teaching.
  • The funding recipient must keep a class register and list of participants.

The Government of Lower Bavaria is responsible for the implementation of the project as well as the approval, proof of use and reclaim procedure.

The application for funding must be submitted to the Government of Lower Bavaria in writing or via the online procedure.
