The Inclusion of Students with a Migration Background in Greek Secondary Education: Challenges, Policies, and Future Directions

Migration has profoundly transformed the educational landscape of Greece over recent decades, resulting in increasing linguistic, cultural, and social diversity within secondary education. Students with a migration background frequently encounter multiple and intersecting challenges, including limited proficiency in the language of instruction, socio-economic disadvantage, disrupted educational trajectories, and insufficient institutional support. Consequently, Greek secondary schools are required to address not only academic learning but also broader issues of inclusion, equity, and social cohesion.
