2020
This paper links geographies of in-flow international students to the higher education system in Latvia and destination country choice rationales. Latvia welcomes international students from diverse geographies.

Il recupero scolastico dei bambini stranieri. Una ricerca-intervento con il coinvolgimento degli studenti del Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formaz…
2016
Accade spesso che nonostante l'impegno quotidiano degli inse- gnanti, gli alunni delle scuole delle zone più deprivate delle cit- tà vivano con profondo malessere i tradizionali ritmi scolasti- ci, che dimostrino un diffuso disimpegno per le attività di stu- dio e che spesso abbandonino il percorso scolastico. Pur essendo in possesso di sufficienti potenzialità cognitive, gli alunni culturalmente e socialmente svantaggiati non riescono ad adat- tarsi ai normali schemi delle proposte formative-curricolari, spesso entrano in conflitto con l'istituzione scolastica e con gli insegnanti e di conseguenza abbandonano il percorso formativo (Coggi, 2009). Gli alunni stranieri richiedono un'atten…

Foreign Students in Italian Universities: A Statistical Analysis of the Last Decade
2021
In recent years university students’ mobility has become increasingly important at a national level. It has been the subject of numerous studies on the South-Centre and South-North mobility flows of Italian students who choose university out of their residence region. The aim is twofold: to provide quantitative information on the university enrollment of the foreign students in the Italian universities (the size of the flows of foreign students enrolled at Italian universities, according to some socio-demographic characteristics); to measure the dropout rates and the time taken to obtain the degree comparing to the Italian students. Foreign students (FS) were classified into two groups: stu…
Educational Migration Trends Review in Poland (with Particular Emphasis on the Immigration of Ukrainian Youth)
2023
This article aims to review and synthesise research on educational migration in Poland, particularly youth immigration from Ukraine. The paper collects statistical data from 2004, which allowed for the analysis of the existing trends in educational migration in Poland. The research on the largest group of foreign students – citizens of Ukraine – was reviewed, which resulted in identifying research gaps regarding student mobility in Poland, both in terms of demand and supply of educational migrations. The practical implication appears to show that the governments of the host countries, the business sector, and the academic units – due to the increase in the number of foreign students – can e…
Un anàlisi comparativa del coneixement de català de l'alumnat castellanoparlant autòcton i l'alumnat hispà en finalitzar l'educació infantil a Catalu…
2008
In Catalonia, in a short period of time, statistics have raised from the 1% recorded ten years ago to the current 13% of students of foreign’s origin. This change has increased linguistic diversity regarding student’s background. However, more than a 50% are from Hispanic origin and the majority have Spanish as their mother tongue. In this case, and strictly from a linguistic point of view, the linguistic immersion programs used in Catalonia to teach Catalan to Spanish students maintain their validity. The article compares Catalan learning in two Spanish-speaking populations of 253 and 157 pupils of autochthonous and foreign origin at the end of childhood education. Results indicate that di…
