Educational Inequality in Secondary Education
International research shows that parental practices can explain a relevant part of social inequality in the educational system. These practices vary by parental endowment with education-relevant capital and are strongly connected to the social origin and habitus of the parental home. In explaining educational inequality in Germany, sociological researchers have so far paid little attention to parental support in everyday life. Little is known ab…
Do Refugee Students Feel Well at School? An Analysis of the Influence of Individual, Social, and Structural Factors
Well-being at school is central to successful learning and dealing with challenges at school. While previous research mostly explored general student well-being, less attention has been paid to the specific challenges faced by refugee students, who enter the school system as lateral entrants and represent a particularly vulnerable group. Building on an established multilevel theoretical framework, we examine the interplay between individual facto…
Explaining inequalities of homeschooling in Germany during the first Covid-19 lockdown
Current studies suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic is worsening existing social inequalities in the field of education worldwide. In this paper, we argue that the pandemic is especially challenging for students from socially disadvantaged and educationally deprived homes, as parental engagement and resources are very important in terms of guiding and supporting students’ learning processes during this school closure period. To examine how well pa…
Less learned but still good grades (for some). What impact had school closures on social inequality of educational opportunity
Several studies have tried to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on student learning and the learning differences between social groups. Few studies have looked at the effects on other aspects of students’ educational achievement, especially grades. Institutionally, grades are essential for evaluating students’ ability, for tracking, for graduation, and as a signal for the labor market. However, grades are subject to many non-performan…
Integration of Recently Arrived Underage Refugees
With the strong immigration of refugees at the end of the last decade, many minors came to Germany. Their integration into the German educational system will be one of the central tasks of German society and is important for the medium- and long-term integration of incoming young refugees in various areas of society. Data from the ReGES panel study enable analyses of the early integration process of refugees into the German educational system. Th…
The Impact of Legal Status on Different Schooling Aspects of Adolescents in Germany
During the so-called refugee crisis of 2015, approximately 300,000 underage asylum seekers came to Germany. We examine whether their legal status and their subjective perception of their status are equally important for their educational integration. On the basis of rational choice theory, we hypothesize that refugees’ legal status should affect their educational outcomes. Our study finds no differences among students with different legal statuse…
Education of Refugee Adolescents at the End of Secondary School
In the recent wave of refugee immigration to Germany, many children and adolescents were among the migrants. Their integration into the German educational system will be a major challenge for the years and decades to come. The paper's aim is to examine both general and refugee-specific mechanisms that likely explain ethnic and social inequality in education among refugee adolescents. The study is based on ReGES (Refugees in the German Educational…
