Germany - Tümpelgarten-Schule  -  Teacher Sezi Eruygun
A primary and secondary school with around 700 students. We are located in the area Lamboy/Tümpelgarten which is a part of the city Hanau. Most of the students in our school live in this area and share similar backgrounds and experiences. Many of them have a migration background and are the third or even fourth generation in Germany. Unfortunately, a great number of them are socially and educationally disadvantaged. Therefore, encouraging and supporting students, trying to even out their disadvantages and leading them towards a qualified certificate play key roles at our school and determine our way of teaching.
