Continue to identify, through research and peer learning, examples of the most effective collaborative practices at school and at local level aimed at alleviating educational disadvantage, reducing early school leaving and ensuring more inclusive education.

Ministers in 2008 discussed measures to combat school drop-out, including: reinforcing newcomers’ competences in the language of instruction and other skills in order to reach the level of their peers; identifying early those ‘at risk’ and fostering collaboration between their parents and teachers; providing after-school learning activities; and improving continuity of support during the transition from one school level to the next.

PISA shows lower performance of pupils in schools with high concentrations of migrant pupils.[19] Segregation also happens within schools: there is evidence that ability grouping/tracking places a disproportionately high share of migrant pupils into lower-ability streams – reflecting, possibly, lower initial levels of educational attainment and/or linguistic capacity.[20] Finally, the high concentration of children of migrants in special schools for disabled pupils evident in some countries is an extreme case of segregation.[21] It is a priori unlikely that migrant pupils suffer from very different levels of disability across countries.

Ensure, with due regard for institutional autonomy, that initial teacher education and continuous professional development provide teachers, trainers, school leaders, early childhood education and care professionals and other staff with the skills, competences and background knowledge needed to understand and tackle educational disadvantage and possible risk factors that might lead to disengagement or early school leaving.
