摘要：Elementary and secondary immigrant students consistently demonstrate a performance disadvantage when one considers their achievement against nonimmigrant peers. These disadvantages vary across international jurisdictions, suggesting that education-system-level policies or programs may help to ameliorate or worsen these differences. Our work provides a synthesis of trends from education policies and programs that appear to be associated with more favourable immigrant student achievement outcomes, highlighting three international jurisdictions: Canada, New Zealand, and England. This comparative analysis identifies key features of these education systems that have been associated with the success of their immigrant students. We conclude with a critical view on simple policy borrowing and call for contextually responsive adaptation of promising policies and programs within distinct education systems.
