The Children of Immigrants at School
Conclusions and Recommendations

It discusses the educational outcomes for native and second-generation youth in in six different countries and shows that immigrant-origin students are generally disadvantaged in schools when compared with those coming from native families. It considers how the inequalities in quantitative educational attainment ar amplified by differences in the quality of the institutions where members of majority and minority groups are concentrated. It also examines factors that affect the educational success of immigrant-origin children and concludes by offering recommendations to ameliorate existing educational inequalities and to help the second generation succeed in school.
