Statistical evidence produced by a 4-year study of policies for educating immigrants' children in seven Western European countries, Canada and Australia shows that such children are disadvantaged under the present arrangements. This report considers how policies have been working and whether there is a case for some new directions and emphases. It is organized into the following five sections: (1) information on the study, its background, findings, conclusions, and implications; (2) analysis of information on foreign children in Belgium, France, West Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland; (3) discussions of problems in Australia and Canada; (4) discussion of social and cultural inequalities and their causes, with a focus on West Indian and Asian children in England and Wales; and (5) discussion of educational structures for immigrants' children in Europe and outside of Europe. Appendices include graphs on comparative development of nationals and foreigners in schooling; general data on foreign populations; and analysis of the data derived from three samples of pupils used in the study in France.
