How Immigrant Children Affect the Academic Achievement of Native Dutch Children
研究课堂中移民儿童比例对荷兰本土儿童阅读、数学和科学成绩的影响,发现学习环境变差但未发现显著的负面溢出效应。
In this article, we analyse how the share of immigrant children in the classroom affects the educational attainment of native Dutch children. Our analysis uses data from various sources, which allow us to characterise educational attainment in terms of reading literacy, mathematical skills and science skills. Our results suggest that Dutch students face a worse learning environment when they are studying with more immigrant students in the classroom. However, we do not find strong evidence of negative spill-over effects from the presence of immigrant children on the academic performance of the native Dutch students.
