Abstract | This research brief summarizes a report by Laura E. Hill and Joseph M. Hayes, "Out-of-School Immigrant Youth" (2007, 134 pp.) [ED496282]. In that report, the authors paint a detailed portrait of a little-noticed immigrant population group, mainly from Mexico and Central America, who are not receiving any kind of education or schooling. Some of these out-of-school immigrant youth, as they are known, have dropped out of U.S. schools, whereas others have never dropped in. The authors also examine the workings of the relevant federal education program, the Migrant Education Program (MEP). Using data both from the program and from the census, the authors find that few educational services that might help these young out-of-school immigrants appear to be reaching them. They suggest that to improve the futures of these youth, policymakers should look beyond traditional schools and teaching methods. (ERIC). |
