"Under Verdonk's plan, residents up to the age of 65 who have spent less than eight years in the Netherlands during their school age are obliged to undergo a course to help them integrate into Dutch society. Gaining a command of the Dutch language is the major requirement of the integration course.
The problem, experts said, arises because Verdonk is making a distinction on the basis of nationality and ethnic background."
