Elzbieta M. Gozdziak: Immigrant Families and Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

Immigrant Families and Education is about belonging and unbelonging--or inclusion and exclusion--of migrant children in public and private primary and secondary schools in western Poland. Although migrant children have legally guaranteed access to education in Poland, many struggle to be included and to feel that they belong in Polish schools, and by extension, Polish society. Even children of returned Polish migrants do not always feel welcome in Polish schools. Most publications about migrant children and education present one point of view, typically that of the teachers. In this book, belonging is analyzed from the perspectives of three groups: the children, their parents, and their educators. This book aims to facilitate discussions between and among policy-makers, school administrators and teachers, as well as parents and child activists, and of course the students, on how to best ensure that all children, regardless of their origin, feel welcome in Polish schools.
