SUMMARY
Huddled classes
How migrants fare in school, and what schools can learn from them
Some children tend to do better at school than others. One of the
reasons may be a different cultural background. A real-life experiment
about this problem has been already performed as a consequence of mass
migration. Every three years the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) with their Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA) tests abilities of 15-year-olds in 50 countries to learn
different subjects. In 2006 they realized study where students from
several countries were sent to many other countries to test level of their
schooling (wrong information). The result was that immigrants passed
worse than locals, but they compete differently, depending on the country
where they were. This is caused by their diverse classification them into
aptitude groups and consecutive education. The study find out, that
countries where there is considerable difference in intake between schools
tend to do worse. When people see rangings of PISA, they are shocked
how poorly their county did. Countries prevaricate that they have lots of
migrants or “wrong sort” of them, but research show the opposite.
Countries with more immigrant children did a little bit better in it.
Analyses also shown that often first-generation immigrant students are
more motivated than second-generation ones, who are altered more
motivated than the native children. The fates of immigrants are various,
nd what happens in schools specially influence them.
Only the first third of the summary has been marked as it contains wrong information (distorts
or changes the original text) and examples of inaccuracy of grammar and vocabulary which
impede understanding.
