This timely second edition of Education, Immigration and Migration offers new insights into the ways that educational leaders, policy makers, students, teachers and community members are changing their practice in light of global migration. Featuring research-based chapters that touch on both local idiosyncrasies and dynamics common across many contexts, chapter authors identify issues educational leaders face as they seek to lead schools and school systems experiencing immigration and better understand their current strategies for improvement.
As the relationship between educational leadership and immigration/refugee populations is not fully understood, this updated edition will help readers gain a deeper appreciation of the scope and nature of issues at local, national and transnational levels. In doing so, authors discuss “what is working” and “what is not working,” allowing for a sharing of ideas and approaches across borders. Chapters utilize cross-disciplinary frameworks, global-national data sets, NGO reports, and descriptions of local practices in educational leadership related to the education of immigrants, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Documenting these journeys and influences is vital to expanding the conceptual frameworks of educational leadership as a field of study beyond managing schools.
In hopes of drawing attention and awakening the field of educational leadership to the influences of immigration as a focal point, this volume will be of interest to state and local policymakers, educational schools, and university leaders as well as educational researchers.
This important book provides powerful insights into the causes, consequences and impact of migration, one of the most significant global trends of the 21st century. It offers a strongly moral perspective, with deep understanding and compassion for the marginalised people who are often victims of conflict or climate change.

Drawing on a rich body and variety of literature and policy, this book addresses a compelling and urgent issues for educators and administrators today - the integration of refugees students into educational systems across the globe. A particular strength of the book is its wide sweep across continents and cultures. I would urge all policy makers and educators interested in building more socially cohesive societies to read this book and absorb its crucial lessons.

This book is a groundbreaking and insightful edited volume that offers both depth and breadth in examining immigrant inclusion through the lenses of policy, leadership, and praxis. As one of the first books to explore this topic comprehensively, it brings firsthand data from multiple continents, providing a truly global perspective. This book is an invaluable resource and a "must-read" for educational leaders, policymakers, and scholars engaged in refugee education.

This powerful volume offers a critical and timely examination of how colonial legacies, global displacement, and educational policies intersect, shaping access to learning for forcibly displaced persons. Arar, Crawford, Örücü, and Bogotch have developed a must-read volume that challenges systemic inequities while highlighting transformative possibilities for educators committed to justice, inclusion, and refugee rights in education.
