Pupils in 24 Danish schools will be “guinea pigs” for a new policy aimed at integrating non-Western immigrants into Danish society. From 2019, it will become law for schools that take more than 30 percent of their students from “ghetto” areas to force their students to take language tests.

Denmark's government currently lists 22 areas as "ghettos," areas with social problems where more than 50% of residents are non-Western immigrants.
