The right to education of migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers 2010, para. 43
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur observes that social and cultural issues are intrinsically entwined with language and curricula. Much has been written, particularly in Europe and more widely across the OECD countries, on issues of language acquisition for migrants. However, the Special Rapporteur notes that much less research exists on how migration impacts upon curriculum content. A common theme in relevant materials and the questionnaire responses is that there are three guiding principles contributing significantly to the development of quality linguistic and culturally relevant core curricula. These are: • Curricula should be entrenched within the human rights framework • Consultation with migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking parents/guardians and communities should be the norm in their planning, design, implementation and evaluation, and • A focus upon inclusive, mutual and collective learning with minimal segregated adaptation groups and classes
