Recent rapid immigration of a diverse group of migrant children into an
almost exclusively White Irish school population makes Ireland an interesting
case study for migrant education. This article explores key points
in the careers of migrant secondary school students in Ireland from an
equality perspective. The article draws on data gathered as a part of a
large-scale study specifically designed to investigate provision for
migrant children in Irish schools. The results of the study show that
migrant students in Ireland face a number of educational barriers in
terms of access to schools, placement in classes, year groups and types
of secondary school programme. This disadvantage is likely to impact
on their future life-chances in terms of progress to further education and
their place in the labour market, as well as their general social positioning
in the Irish society.
