København opsiger aftale med sprogskole

Københavns Kommune afbryder med øjeblikkelig virkning sit samarbejde med den ellers så populære sprogskole KISS. Skolen undrer sig over kommunens beslutning.

Sprogskolen KISS i København skylder Københavns Kommune millioner af kroner, og derfor har kommunen opsagt aftalen med sprogskolen. Ifølge Beskæftigelses- og Integrationsforvaltningen har skolen misligholdt de økonomiske aftaler og skylder kommunen 4,5 millioner kroner. Skolens forstander, Steen A. Christensen, undrer sig over kommunens beslutning.

»Vi har et stigende antal kursister og kunne sagtens overholde den afbetalingsordning, som kommunen nu er sprunget fra«, siger Christensen, der nu bliver nødt til at lukke skolen.

KISS, som står for Københavns Intensive Sprog Skole, har eksisteret i mere end 35 år og er anerkendt for at have landets mest effektive kursus for udlændinge. Skolens elever får tilbud om at fortsætte undervisningen på andre sprogskoler.


Copenhagen gives notice agreement to language school

Københavns Kommune (Copenhagen’s County) ends cooperation with the otherwise popular language school KISS with immediate effect. The school is surprised over the local authority’s decision.

The language school KISS in Copenhagen owes Københavns Kommune millions of crowns, and therefore the local authority has given notice the agreement with the language school. According to Employment and Integration Association (Beskæftigelses og Integrationsforvaltningen), the school has failed to fulfill the financial agreements and owes the local authority 4.5 million crowns. The school’s principal, Steen A. Christensen, is surprised over the local authority’s decision.

“We have a rising number of participants and could easily respect the repayment arrangement that the local authority has now retracted”, says Christensen, who now becomes obliged to close the school.

KISS, which stands for Copenhagen’s Intensive Language School (Københavns Intensive Sprog Skole), has existed for more than 35 years and is reputed to the country’s most effective course for foreigners. The school’s pupils get offers of continuing the teaching at other language schools.
