Press Release: Migrant children more likely to end up in poor schools, report says

Newly arrived migrant children are more likely to face segregation and end up in schools with fewer resources, according to a study conducted for the European Commission. This leads to under-performance and a high probability that the children will drop out of school early. The study suggests that Member States should provide targeted educational support for migrant children such as specialist teachers and systematic involvement of parents and communities to improve their integration.
