Education and Immigration Settlement Policies and Current Challenges

Education and Immigration Settlement Policies and Current Challenges

Description: "Education and Immigration comprises six reports that emerged from an EU funded comparative research project into the challenges posed to national education systems by immigration and its associated issues and problems. The immigration-related education policies and initiatives of six countries (the UK, France, Germany, Finland, Greece and Israel) are explained, examined and compared. The book clearly delineates the historical, legal and sociological contexts of the various strategies, and at how far these have been adhered to - noting that with the exception only of Germany these strategies once implemented have been adhered to.
