Overview of contents
Education is crucial for successful integration. Although diversity is an opportunity to make schools more inclusive, creative and open-minded, inequality in education is the highest among migrant children. Migrants and refugees often face discrimination and xenophobia. For instance, the educational achievements of those groups are generally poor. Many students from this group are likelier to drop out of formal education, leading to higher risks of social marginalisation, failure to integrate, and poverty. The latter has long-term adverse effects on the host country’s social development and economic growth.
