| Abstract |
This paper contributes to the knowledge about the academic attainment of children of immigrants in Spain and, specifically, in Andalusia. By using data from PISA, it is analyzed both the gap between immigrant and native students, and the effect that several variables of interest produce on such gap. Results confirm the already known academic disadvantage of immigrant students, but they also reveal an aspect that has been scarcely spread: second generation pupils and those coming from mixed parental couples perform as well as their native peers do. Higher educational level of their parents and higher household socio-cultural level contribute significantly to their outcomes. |
