Gogolin’s contribution focuses on education inequality in the context of international mobility and the manifold practices of migration. Migration affects the education systems worldwide in a specific manner. Migrants are young, and migrants have children. In most immigration countries of the world, the age distribution within the immigrant population is similar to the example of Germany. Here, about 65% of all immigrants are below 40. In the population as a whole, less than 30% are below that age. Because of this fact, the educational sector is highly responsible for social cohesion in immigrant societies. Unfortunately though, migration turns out as a severe handicap for educational success in most education systems, especially in Europe. Gogolin will present research results indicating features of education systems which – often unintentionally – contribute to unequal opportunities of migrants in education, and will give an outlook on education research strategies which might contribute to overcome this situation.
