INMIGRACIÓN Y ESCOLARIZACIÓN EN LA REGIÓN DE MURCIA
Abstract
Over the last few years, Murcia has become an area of atraction for foreign immigrants, to the extent that, nowadays, one out of ten inhabitants, up to a total of one hundred thousand people, are foreign immigrants. We should bear in mind that most immigrants are young and, among them, some groups are characterised by having many children. Spanish laws require that all children under sixteen have to be schooled, the phenomenon of foreign immigrant schooling has an enourmous interest for some towns and villages in the Region of Murcia. In this paper, we present some of the features that define the schooling of the sons and daughters of foreign immigrants —about fifteen thousand primary and secondary school students—, and the territorial distribution of the immigration-schooling phenomenon in the Región of Murcia.Downloads
