Helping immigrant students to succeed at school – and beyond (OECD, 2015)
How school systems respond to migration has an enormous impact on the economic and social well-being of all members of the communities they serve whether they have an immigrant background or not. This OECD paper reveals some of the difficulties immigrant students encounter – and some of the contributions they offer – while settling into their new communities and new schools. The fact that the educational, social and emotional success of immigrant students differs so widely across countries, and that countries pursue such different policies and practices in leveraging the potential of immigrant children, underlines that there is much that countries can learn from each other.
