Over 80% of refugees in Germany have no formal education

There has been a massive exodus of Jews in Western Europe the last few years. I personally know a female medical specialist that worked in Amsterdam. She moved to the Czech Republic because she was fed up with dealing with muslim aggression.
your remark is a copout and an unwillingness to face reality.
in addition, someone should give a detailed explanation of the honor killings issue among these people in the UK, which is now spreading to Germany.

Over 80% of refugees in Germany have no formal education?
It may be time to bring up the facts and test this assertion.
Syria is one of the more educated nations in the Arab world. 26% of Syrians have attended some university. Nearly all Syrians (95.3%) both male and female have graduated from 9th grade in the country's compulsory public education system for grades 1 to 9.
The upper secondary education is for 3 years from grade 10 to grade 12. These classes are preparation of college enrollment. 72 percent of Syrians take upper secondary education.
It may appear that over 80% of refugees have no formal education because their transcripts have been left behind in their destroyed homes. Many times the government offices and schools in Syria that could provide replacement transcripts have been destroyed. Therefore many refugee children & families in Jordan, Turkey, Germany, etc. can not enroll in upper schools because they have no formal proof of educational attainments. This is very different than not having any formal education.

yes... but we did not have a big social welfare state. Irish and all the other immigrants back then had to go out and find jobs, contribute and melt into the culture to succeed. The history that I read shows very limited to almost non existing govt assistance. Nothing like the amounts or the massive percentages of immigrants receiving govt assistance today. There is far less of reason for immigrants to today to become part of our culture and contributors to the economy.
After seeing and reading a Knights of Colubus history... I understand there was so little govt help the Knights formed up to help their own when they got here from Ireland and other places.
Back then we had jobs so we took more workers in.
Right now we have about 100 million people out of the workforce.
What we are doing now is really about the cronies trying to keep labor rates down and create bigger markets for wal mart and votes for democrats who are owned by the establishment.

Hard facts are not your forte. First of all my post was related to all refugees in Germany, not only Syrians, secondly these data were reported by the Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit. They applied German standards to education assessment, rightly so since they are dealing with the German labor market and have to meet the demands of German employers. Or do you expect them to lower their standards in order to present a more politically correct image of the education of refugees? It wouldn't surprise me.

PS on your comment on destroyed diploma's and such. Many of those Syrian refugees have been living in bordering countries for up to 4 years. Plenty of time to get hold of a copy of their diploma's if they wanted to. Only when Merkel decided to invite the whole third world to come to Germany they took the first bus to Germany.

It's been said that the Potato Famine put an Irish cop on every street corner. So give these folks a chance, and make work for them. It's clear very many are willing to work hard and go to considerable risk to escape extreme hardship at home, so I doubt workfare is going to hurt them much.
So I can agree that not all the refugees in Germany are from Syria. Some estimates say that only 30% to 50% are. With others being from Afghanistan and other nations with little formal education.
However I will note that your pdf link is focused on refugees lacking DOCUMENTED qualifications (educational transcripts) and intervention measures to support integration and eventual employment.
I never doubted that integration of these refugees with a very different culture and language will be difficult for Germany. Even after three generations, Germany has failed to integrate their Turkish "guest workers" that account for 3.7% of the country's population.
Where does it say DOCUMENTED qualification? I'm reading "ohne formale Qualikifation".
No way it's 50% Syrians. Even 30% is at the upper end of the estimates. Further an academic degree from Syria is pretty much worthless in the West. According to people who have worked with Syrian doctors their training doesn't even meet the level of a fully trained nurse in the West. But all of a sudden the PC mob is doing their utmost to inflate educational standards to worthless levels, as if they haven't done enough damage in that regard so far.
