Where Immigrant Students Succeed A Comparative Review of Performance and Engagement in PISA 2003

Published by U.S. Department of State | Department of State | Metadata Last Checked: July 29, 2025 | Last Modified: 2006-05-12
Drawing on data from the OECD’s Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA), this report examines the performance of students with immigrant backgrounds and compares it to that of their native counterparts. As well as providing information on countries’ approaches to the integration of immigrants, it looks at other factors that could influence immigrant students’ performance – such as their attitudes to school, their motivation and learning strategies as well as their social background and the language spoken at home – giving valuable implications for educational policy.
