Dronkers, Jaap; Levels, Mark; de Heus, Manon – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2014
Background: Earlier studies using a double perspective (destination & origin) indicate that several macro-characteristics of both destination and origin countries affect the educational performance of migrant children. This paper explores the extent to which educational system features of destination and origin countries can explain these…
