Among the countries participating in PISA, Portugal recorded the largest increase in the percentage of students with an immigrant background between the 2018 and 2022 PISA cycles, rising from 7 per cent to 11 per cent. Using PISA 2022 data, Eylem Gverek's study investigates the gaps in academic performance in maths, science and reading, as well as disparities in subjective well-being, between immigrant and native students in Portugal.
Admission to this masterclass, entirely in English, is free, but subject to prior registration on the button below.
