The share of students with an immigrant background increased between 2003 and 2012, both in traditional and new destination countries.
The performance difference in mathematics between immigrant and non-immigrant students decreased, on average, between 2003 and 2012.
Differences in socio-economic background explain less than half of the performance difference in mathematics between immigrant and non-immigrant students.
Can the performance gap between immigrant and non-immigrant students be closed?
