Thank you for taking your time and response. What are the subjects that will be taught in English if I choose the German medium? ( I fee like Maths will be taught in English. Not sure.) Please reply in case you know about this.

In most schools all of the subjects will be taught in German and English is taught as a separate subject.
There are some free public schools in large cities that are dual English/German which are ideal for this but not intended for one to get along without German. They are meant to give German speakers a stronger knowledge of English in addition. One should not confuse them with international ones that use English as聽 the primarily language of instruction.

Compared to most southern European countries the standard the kids learn is pretty high and they usually get many years of English instruction. The weakness of of Germany however compared to the Netherlands or most Scandinavian countries is that kids don't necessarily get to use their English outside of school. These smaller countries often have more media like movies and TV in original language. And they know people in other countries won't speak their language, so they have more motivation to truly get along with English if they want to travel. Thus some kids in Germany don't take it so serious and later forget much of their English after leaving school.

This is why it makes sense to support the kids outside of school; say using English at home in some contexts or giving them the opportunity to travel and actually use it. Another thing I encourage is for parents to consider a year as an exchange pupil for their kids in a country where they want them to really solidify their language skills be it English or another language.

Mediterranean mentality (nothing works but everyone is nice)

Very well said - and really a big contrast to the German method of "everything works and people are nice if they have to."

A student visa i given only for full-time studies . But with a kid in tow, she will not be able to study full-time, unless she has a kindergarten or similar for the child.
If so, she could possibly also show that relatives in Germany take care of the child (if this is the case).

This brings up the subject that while certain people might be eligible for a visa they still have to meet qualifications. On a student visa one can bring a spouse and/or their minor children. But it still has to be shown that there is enough living space for all of them plus enough money for living expenses.

And in this case it is logical that they wonder how a single parent will manage to go to university full time and properly care of their child. Either the child or the studies will be neglected if there is no reliable solution like daycare. And even for a couple, if the student's spouse is working full time (which is allowed) then their financial situation will be more secure but then who takes care on the child?
