How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The education of children from migrant families is a pressing issue, with approximately 36 million school-age children and adolescents among international migrants, a number that continues to rise. Their education is an important long–term strategic priority and an investment in the future of the whole world. The article examines the problems of the education of migrant children, considers the recommendations for different countries in the field of organizing access of children to preschool, primary and secondary education, the creation of a favorable environment. Special attention is given to issues related to access to education, adaptation in the educational environment, and overcoming language barriers. The choice of a particular integration model depends on the immigration history of each country. Some integration models contribute to the formation of a multicultural society, while others aim at the complete assimilation of migrants. The selected models of realization of the right to the education of migrant children are reflected in the education system and determine how it will respond to the challenges associated with an increase in the number of children from migrant families in educational institutions. The study results highlight the necessity of creating efficient policies to safeguard the educational rights of migrant children.
