In Swedish schools special curricula have been designed with the objective of ensuring that immigrant Finnish children will maintain and develop their native language and at the same time achieve a sufficient competence in Swedish to enjoy educational and social opportunities comparable to those of their Swedish-speaking colleagues. The effectiveness of this policy is evaluated in four studies of Finnish-speaking immigrant children attending Swedish schools offering different degrees of Finnish-medium instruction. The students were in primary (Grades 3 and 6) and post-primary (Grade 8) schools. Causal models relating social background, medium of instruction, and school achievement were fitted and replicated. A strong relationship between competence in Swedish and overall scholastic achievement was a constant finding. Interference between Finnish and Swedish, which was observed in Grade 6, had disappeared by Grade 8. Key issues are discussed and a generalised model of immigrant education is proposed. |
