O Português não é a língua materna de 3 em cada 10 alunos migrantes.

 

Em cinco anos, o número de alunos estrangeiros nos Ensino Básico e Secundário aumentou mais de 160 por cento. São hoje 140 mil os estudantes inscritos na escola pública, de mais de 187  nacionalidades. No ano letivo 2018/2019 eram 53 mil, representando 5,3% do total de alunos matriculados. Em 2023/2024 já representavam 13,9% do total de alunos do Ensino Básico e Secundário. E para este ano, o ME estima a chegada de mais 20 mil.

Mais de metade dos alunos com nacionalidade estrangeira são brasileiros (52%) e cerca de 7 em cada 10 são da CPLP (72%) - 59 % do total. Brasil, Angola, São Tomé e Príncipe, Índia, Venezuela, Paquistão, Bangladesh, Colômbia, Argentina e Rússia são as nacionalidades com maior aumento de número e percentagem de alunos entre 2018/19 e 2023/24. Em média, as escolas têm alunos de 19 nacionalidades (eram 11 em 2018/2019) e há estabelecimentos com estudantes de 46 nacionalidades. O Português não é a língua materna de 3 em cada 10 alunos migrantes.

Para fazer face a esse “aumento acentuado” de crianças e jovens estrangeiros nas escolas, o ME anunciou várias medidas de “Integração e Sucesso dos Alunos Migrantes”.  A grande novidade face aos anos letivos anteriores é a contratação de mediadores linguísticos e culturais, cujo  impacto orçamental está calculado em 9,5 milhões (45% financiado pelo PESSOAS2030). Assim, chegarão às escolas que recebem mais alunos migrantes 272 mediadores. Será atribuído um mediador por cada 20 alunos (valor para crédito horário ou equivalente financeiro). O foco está nos estudantes recém-chegados ao sistema educativo português, com nacionalidade estrangeira e origem não-CPLP.

PS: Com cerca de 500 mil pedidos de reagrupamento familiar pendentes, e admitindo que cada agregado familiar se compõe apenas da mulher e um filho, será mais um imigrantes em idade escolar. Como é o Ministério da Educação vai conseguir "encaixar" um total de 640 mil estudantes estrangeiros - arranjar professores, salas de aulas, mediadores culturais (3 % dos alunos estrangeiros não falam português)?

Austrian court allows use of Islamic Sharia law in private contracts

 

In a controversial decision, an Austrian court has ruled Islamic law (Sharia) can be used for arbitration purposes in the European country if the contract parties agree on it.

In the case in question two men had signed a contract which mandated that in case of conflicts an arbitration tribunal would decide “based on Islamic law (Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah) in accordance with equity in the matter to the best knowledge and belief.”

The term Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah denotes the Sunni Islamic community. 

After a conflict between the two men arose the arbitration tribunal decided against the plaintiff and required him to pay €320,000. The plaintiff then brought suit before the Vienna Regional Court for Civil Matters. He argued that the application of the Islamic law was arbitrary as scholars interpreted Sharia law differently. Furthermore, invoking Sharia law violated the fundamental values of Austrian law.

The (secular) court, however, found that the decision of the arbitration tribunal was lawful. Whether or not Islamic legal rules were applied here could not be verified, according to the Regional Court. The result of the arbitration tribunal did not contradict Austrian fundamental values, and that was all that mattered. Islamic legal provisions, the Regional Court emphasised, could be “effectively agreed upon in an arbitration agreement” for property claims.

The court ruling has caused a storm of criticism about the supposed further “Islamisation” of Austria.

“This opens the door even wider for political Islam”, Michael Schilchegger, an MP and speaker on constitutional law for the right-wing Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) wrote in a press statement. “The ruling elevates Islamic parallel societies in Austria and weakens those forces that do not want to submit to Islam. A sad day for the secular constitutional state.”

His party colleague Manfred Haimbuchner echoed the sentiment, writing: “Sharia law is incompatible with the Austrian understanding of law and violates all moral standards that I am familiar with. Unfortunately, our constitutional state is currently powerless against this form of Islam.” 

It is not only right-wingers who are enraged with the court’s ruling. The Turkish Cultural Community (TKG), an association of secular Turks in Austria, protested the decision to recognize the Sharia “as law” and called to attention that the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) had decided in 2003 that Sharia law and the resulting introduction of a parallel legal system were forbidden in Europe.

“The Vienna court’s decision is a major intervention, today in the secular economy, tomorrow perhaps in production, service, and sales regulations”, wrote Melissa Günes, the TKG’s general secretary.

Knife Crime in Germany Surges 17 % in The First Half of 2025. Foreigners Accounted for 36 % Of Crime Suspects

 

The number of violent knife crimes in Germany has risen sharply once again, with newly released Federal Police figures confirming a worsening trend.

In the first half of 2025, 730 cases were recorded under Federal Police jurisdiction, a 17 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The data, provided by the German government in response to a parliamentary query from Alternative for Germany (AfD) domestic affairs spokesman Martin Hess and obtained by Junge Freiheit, show a marked overrepresentation of foreign suspects.

Out of the recorded offenses, 278 involved German suspects and 270 involved non-Germans. While foreigners make up just under 15 percent of Germany’s population, they accounted for over 36 percent of knife crime suspects. Among them, Syrians formed the largest group with 29 cases, followed by Afghans with 23 and Poles with 20. Algerian and Afghan suspects were among the most likely to use a knife rather than merely carry one, with 83 percent of cases involving actual use.

Huge Inflatable Brings Record 107 Migrants Across Channel to Britain

 

A record 107 small boat migrants have reached Britain in just one dinghy, confounding Labour’s pledge to ‘smash the gangs’.

Images from the port of Dover this morning showed human traffickers have begun to deploy a new, longer type of inflatable.

The dinghy — which can barely be described as a ‘small boat’ — was recovered in the Channel and taken to Dover, where it was being examined by Border Force and law enforcement, GB News reported.

It brought 107 migrants to Britain overnight, smashing the previous record of 96 people aboard one inflatable.

The appearance of the larger type of dinghy further undermines Labour’s decision to concentrate on law enforcement responses to ‘smash the gangs’.
