The success of migrant student |
|
Dutch researcher Maurice Crul from the University of Amsterdam visits the Metropolis conference in Bonn. A conference about integration in the European Union. Crul presents his research that concluds that, compared to the Netherlands, Belgium and especially France, migrant students in Germany stay behind in education. In the German most of the migrant pupils do not manage to enter higher education. In the Netherlands the InHolland University educates many migrant students. Through the mentor project young migrant students are linked with older students for extra guidance and help. Most of the students find a job after they finished their education. A successful Dutch Moroccan girl explains how she did it. She works at the external communication department of a large company. Because of her success and mentorship at the Inholland University, she got a the yearly student price from the Dutch Minister of Education. Entering school at a young age, choosing the final education at a late age and extra attention, turn out to be the reasons behind the success of migrant students in The Netherlands.
