Show notes

With more people settling abroad than ever before, societies are becoming increasingly diverse. Nowhere is this shift more observable than in the classroom. But what effect does migration have on the students themselves? How should schools respond to the newly multicultural student body? Francesca Borgonovi, Senior Analyst at the OECD, and Jens Nymand-Christensen, Deputy Director-General for Education and Culture in the European Commission, discuss findings from a new OECD study (co-financed by the European Commission) on the performance of students with an immigrant background, analysing how these students fare in the education systems of their host countries. Despite challenges, some students succeed against the odds, and this is referred to as their “resilience.”
