| Summary: | Receiving, accommodation and education of children with immigrant background is one of the
challenging issues in almost all the metropolitan areas in many countries. In our study we are
exploring the impact of demographic changes on political agendas, legal frames, educational
approaches, research findings and student achievement in the field of education of linguistic
minorities in Oslo, Norway and Los Angeles, USA. Although there are significant historical and socio

educational policy makers and the linguistic minority students are quite similar. |
