What affects learning achievements among migrant children?

Submitted by admin on
Abstract

When comparing the learning achievements of migrant and non-migrant students in third and sixth grade, it is observed that migrant children achieve lower academic performance levels. These lower results in learning achievements do not apply to the entirety of this student population. There are associated factors that influence the learning of these students such as the socioeconomic level of migrant families. Education systems in the region have not yet been able to overcome performance gaps or provide support to vulnerable populations. Practices and initiatives are recommended that are aimed at supporting migrant children and their families in order to make it easier for them to integrate.
