Integration course for free
31 October 2008

The mandatory Dutch integration course for immigrants is to be made free for potential participants living in Amsterdam. The course has been compulsory
for non-Western immigrants living in the Netherlands since January 2007.

At present immigrants have to pay 270 euros towards the cost of the course but Amsterdam city council believes this is one of the reasons people are not attending.

Some 15,000 people in the Dutch capital were expected to register for the course this year but only 4,000 have done so.

The city council decided on Thursday to make the course free of charge in the hope that that this will encourage a bigger take up which has been low throughout the country.

In the future, non-Western immigrants will not be given a residency permit unless they have completed the course.

But a prerequisite is a course on differentiation.

Yes, and one free TASER charge for good measure.... ( ) That'll help keep immigration down
