In increasingly multicultural societies, students with migration background, professional competences of teachers and linguistic ability challenge educational policy and the scientific system. Schools and education systems must therefore harness the benefits that students and teachers from diverse backgrounds bring to classrooms.

This book comprises contributions, which accelerate professionalism in the educational system by supporting scientific and in particular international exchanges.weiterlesen
