Diversity in schools: Can South Tyrol learn from Australia?

Managing diversity in schools can be both a challenge and an opportunity. Australia’s schools are known for having very diverse classrooms. On the national level, around 25% of students in schools are non-English speakers. In some areas, the percentage of non-English speakers is over 90%. Well aware that managing diversity in education takes on a different dimension when the school is rooted in a minority language community, it still might be worth taking a closer look at how the Australian model is working. Dr Annamaria Paolino from the School of Education of the Edith Cowan University in Perth is giving us interesting insights from Western Australia.
