Pupils speaking the languages of Eastern Europe as their mother tongue are the fastest growing group in English schools. But what do we know about the attainment of ‘new’ Eastern European migrant pupils in England? What are the factors that contribute to or hinder these migrant pupils’ educational success in England? How do they settle into British schools’ cosmopolitan make-up?
To discuss these issues, please join us at the Department of Education & Professional Studies, King’s College London, for the End of Award Event of the research project “The Schooling and Identity of Eastern European Immigrant Pupils in England”. Thursday 11th December 2014. The event is dedicated to the launch of the new research report.
Chair: Professor Louise Archer, Professor of Sociology of Education, King’s College London
