Introduction - Education, mobilities and migration: people, ideas and resources

Within a context of increased globalisation, migration, mobilities and education has become a growing field of interest in international and comparative education – as evidenced by the number of papers on the topic in Compare, including the special issue of March 2010, ‘Migration, Education and Socio-Economic Mobility’. The international BAICE conference in September 2012, Education, Mobility and Migration: people, ideas and resources demonstrated the wide variety of perspectives on the issue and raised new questions, both empirical and theoretical, with regard to the educational experiences of different migrant groups, and the new challenges these present for educational practice and policies at a local, national and global level.
