Estudio de caso sobre la integración socio-educativa de familias inmigrantes en Granada (España)

Abstract

The socio-educational integration of immigrant families is one of the pillars of multicultural, and multiethnic society and it generates opportunities for all. The study presented was conducted in a suburban neighborhood of strong immigrant reception in the city of Granada (Spain), and it seeks to compare the current legislative framework with the resources that immigrant families can find available to encourage an adequate incorporation to schools and their participation in the education of their children. A qualitative approached was used with interviews to immigrant families, field observations and a literature review. The results highlight a suitable host despite the difficulties found. However, regarding the educational context, it is necessary to improve the information for parents to avoid exclusion within the school. Also a greater involvement and commitment of teachers and families within parents and teachers associations as main organizations for family participation is needed.
