Generational Gains in Dutch Education | Amsterdam News

New research reveals that kids of immigrants in the Netherlands are rapidly closing the education gap with native-born peers—within one generation, they’re nearly on par in math and language, with up to 70% of the math gap and 62% of the language gap disappearing when adjusting for family background. The study, tracking over 27,000 parents and 43,000 children since 1977, found the most dramatic progress among Moroccan Dutch youth, though it can’t yet confirm if the same trend applies to more recent asylum seekers. This is a hopeful sign of intergenerational integration and educational equity. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
