  2. Presentation this morning 1. Brief summary of the project 2. General overview 3. Results from Phase I of the project

  3. Brief Summary about the Project • Project’s overarching question: What policies will promote successful education outcomes of first and second generation immigrant students? • Focus: Education policies Education outcomes - Access, Participation, Student Performance • Scope: Pre-school, primary and secondary (and transition to higher education) • Participation (meetings and questionnaires): all OECD member countries • Review countries (7 countries): Austria, Belgium (Flemish Community), Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden • Working methods: Mix of desk-based research and country visits; Mix of quantitative and qualitative research • Timeline: January 2008- December 2009

  4. General Overview

  5. Phase I: Pre-Visit Phase II: Fact-Finding visit Phase IV: Post-Visit Phase III: Policy review visit Country Notes Draft policy evaluation framework Final Report Proposed decision-making tools Mapping of existing policy options Formulating policy relevant questions Foundation of KB Consolidated KB Developing analytical framework Facts Stock-taking of existing research Factors Work done by other Directorates of the OECD; other organisations; research communities Literature Review Collecting evidence of good practices and policy challenges from countries Facts and empirical questions Country background Reports 4 2 1 5 6 3 7 Hypotheses about possible causes and explanations, and possible remedies 2 1 4 6 3 5 7 Adjusted from Figure 1 in EDU/EDPC/MI(2008)3/REV1

  6. List of outputs from Phase I: Draft policy evaluation framework (Proposed decision-making tools) Facts about immigrant students performance Factors that affect the education outcomes Literature review of effective policies Existing policy options from a mapping exercise

  7. Do immigrant students have the same education outcomes as their native peers?

  8. Access: Mean socio-economic status of schools attended by native and immigrant students PISA 2006

  9. Participation: Grade repetition for native and immigrant students % of students repeating a grade PISA 2003

  10. Performance: Reading performance differences between native and immigrant students Performance difference roughly equivalent to a year of schooling PISA 2006

  11. Performance: % students with low proficiency (below Level 1 in PISA 2006 reading)

  12. Performance: reading performance in PISA 2006 by country of origin Germany: difference between immigrant students ofTurkish and Polish origin of about 100 points = 2 years of schooling Performance differences across education systems: e.g. immigrant students of Turkish origin

  13. Which factors influence the education outcomes of migrant students? Individual factors School level Factors System level factors

  14. Access Individual factors Participation Performance • Student • age • age of arrival • gender • Student • immigrant status • Family • generation • learning • at home • Parents • expectation for • children • Student • language competencies • length of stay • country of origin • academic performance • aspirations • Parents • occupation status • education level • aspiration for child’s • education • Family • family structure • family size/siblings

  15. Example: Parental Education Level • The Effect of Mother’s Education on Reading Performance (PISA 2006)

System level factors Access Participation • external student • assessment • school / teacher • evaluation Performance • school catchment • school choice • school fees (regionally/ • (nationally determined) • second chance schools • or recognition system of • experiential learning • grade repetition policy • long schooling time (curricular/extra-curricular) • national curriculum or teaching guidelines responsive • to linguistic and cultural diversity • tracking system • preschool education and care system

  18. Example: Participation in Pre-primary Education • The Effect of Participation in Pre-Primary Education on Reading Performance (PISA 2006)

  19. Which policies can influence these factors to improve the education outcomes of migrant students? POLICIES System level factors School level factors Individual Factors
