Economic Background: Immigrant Students

Educational Outcomes Dept: The report, released Tuesday, says Canada is especially unique because its immigrant students perform well and socio-economic background seems to have little effect on performance, according to CTV. "Canada stands out not just because of its high overall performance but also because the impact of socio-economic background on educational outcomes is much less pronounced than in most Western nations," said Andreas Schleicher, of the OECD, in a video posted on the organization's website and canada is a world leader when it comes to education, according to a new study from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The study was based on scores from testing in 2009 through the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment. As reported in the news.
