Vocational education as the “risky choice
Although vocational education offers viable pathways to employment, research has yet to understand why students with immigrant backgrounds tend to avoid vocational tracks. This longitudinal qualitative study explores how students perceive and talk about their upper secondary educational choices, including interviewees both with and without immigrant backgrounds. The article shows how the students draw on a shared narrative where vocational educat…
A Double drive to failure
Vocational education offers an important pathway into the labour market for students who struggle in school, especially for low performing males. However, whether vocational education can provide children of immigrants the same wage benefit as it seems to do for low performing native majority background males, is not properly understood. Based on analyses of register data, we address this topic. We find that male children of immigrants do not hav…
Pandemi og gjennomføring av videregående opplæring
Karaktergjennomsnitt og gjennomføringsgrad i videregående skole har økt under koronapandemien. Samtidig viser internasjonale studier at læringstapet under pandemien har vært stort, særlig for elever med lav sosioøkonomisk bakgrunn. Betyr det at vi har en situasjon der elever fullfører videregående opplæring uten egentlig å være studieforberedt? I denne artikkelen analyserer vi registerdata for å undersøke endringer i gjennomføring av studieforber…
What Employers Mean When They Talk About Language Proficiency
In 2013, a Norwegian language test was made mandatory for immigrants participating in the Norwegian Introduction Programme (NIP). The rationale behind the law was that documented test scores would allow employers to better evaluate these jobseekers’ language skills, thereby helping reduce the employment gap between the immigrant and majority population. However, although previous research has found that mandated language classes have only a modes…
How do Children of Immigrants Experience Parental Involvement in their Education
Many children of immigrants have low socioeconomic backgrounds and yet attain high levels of education. What guides members of this group to this educational success is, however, a matter of theoretical dispute. While some have argued that immigrant families establish norms that promote positive school behaviour, others have highlighted the educational selectivity of immigrants. Based on interviews with 28 children of immigrants to Norway enrolle…
Negotiating independence and tradition
Concerns about the integration of minority migrant populations in Western Europe often form around issues of gender inequity. One particular concern is linked to educated minority women’s work participation upon family formation. Based on 16 in-depth interviews with young adult daughters of immigrants in Norway, all enrolled in prestigious educational tracks, I ask: What do they plan for regarding their future family and work situations, and how …
Outsiders Looking in. The Re-enrolment Struggles of Early School Leavers in Norway
Despite a vast literature on the causes and consequences of leaving school prematurely, little scholarly and policy attention has been paid to those who re-enter education after a temporary withdrawal. Re-enrolment is often portrayed in the literature as an active act of agency requiring inner drive. Based on 18 interviews with young early school leavers and re-enrolees in Norway, we construct two empirically founded re-enrolment narratives: ‘opp…
Right choice, wrong motives? Narratives about prestigious educational choices among children of immigrants in Norway
Based on twenty-eight in-depth interviews with children of immigrants recently enrolled in education tracks such as medicine, dentistry, engineering, and law, this article presents a new perspective on their choice of prestigious higher education. The aim is twofold: first, to describe these minority youths' accounts of this choice, and second, to analyse the emerging narratives as part of an identity construction. The narratives highlight the im…
