description Achievement gaps between immigrant and native students indicate failure to assure educational equity in the majority of countries assessed by the Programme for International Student Assessment in 2009 (PISA, 2009).

In further contextualisation of the achievement results, the analysis seeks explanations beyond the common education system explanatory model.
