Foreign
Students' Situation on the Secondary Level (Gymnasium; Apprenticeships)
in Swiss Schools: Integrated or Disadvantaged? |

In accordance with the theory
of human capital, schools must develop the educational potentials
of their students. However, the comparison of several groups
of foreign students with their autochthonous Swiss counterparts
shows that participation of the former on the secondary II level
is low. It proves to be especially difficult for foreign students
to accede to the higher level education in middle schools (e.g.
gymnasiums) but also in higher level apprenticeships. However,
in the case of apprenticeships a compensation effect is to be
noticed in the fact that a proportion of foreign students similar
to that of Swiss students is to be found in higher level apprenticeships.
The author blames Swiss educational systems for preferentialism,
which consists in giving advantages to monolingual students,
even in cases where school performances of their bilingual foreign
colleagues are higher. This preferentialism helps to protect
the utilitarian interests of the autochthonous group, but on
a long term range it will harm the higher social and economic
interests of the state. |
