There are clear disparities in educational performance between EU migrants and non-migrants and expected life chance outcomes.

• • As well as displaying a higher tendency towards early school leaving compared with the non-migrant population, EU-migrant youths (15–24 year olds) are more likely to not be in education, employment or training (NEETs) compared with their non-migrant counterparts.

• • The education performance gap between EU migrant and non-migrants children is due to a number of intersecting factors, including linguistic capabilities, parental influence and socio-economic status.

A number of measures are being implemented across Member States with promising results.

• • An integrated and comprehensive approach as well as going beyond the school working in partnership with community organisations can deliver some promising results.

This policy brief looks at the education of EU migrant children in the context of intra-EU mobility. It examines some of the literature and data on the topic in order to identify key differences between EU migrant children and non-migrant children. There are disparities in educational performance between migrants and non-migrants. The brief outlines some policies and practices which are aimed at improving educational outcomes and the progression of migrants in some EU Member States, namely in responding to the demands and challenges in education systems.
