Educating immigrant school leavers

Abstract

In the UK, with 1¼ million clearly recognizable immigrants in five years, many of whom have entered conveniently self‐imposed ghettoes, one of the greatest problems so far is the furtherance of their integration with the local culture. Whether the disturbance of local culture patterns in order to effect assimilation is either possible or desirable is open to question. Certainly exposure to general education may be a force in effecting cultural co‐habitation.
