Higher immigration does not lower school results, OECD suggests
The study examined migration between 2000 and 2012 and found that there were no links between the number of migrant pupils and the performance of schools, including the UK, where schools with a high proportion of migrant families did not perform any differently from the average.
The report also said that migrants were more likely than not to be an ‘asset than a liability’ in terms of standards, with Andreas Schleicher, the OECD's director of education, saying that many migrant families were ‘hugely motivated’ to succeed in education.
The report did find that there were gaps in a sense of ‘belonging’ for migrant pupils, with migrant pupils in the UK and the US particularly likely to feel accepted, while those in France and Belgium were found to have the lowest sense of belonging.
