Background information on basic education for migrants
by Project Integrationshaus together with Alfa Centre for Migrants
The range of courses offered for migrants is sometimes more strongly influenced by the classification of the target group according to residence status, labour market access and other formal criteria than by the different needs of learners. What was missing for a long time is the following information:
- Why do these people need basic education?
- In what areas do they need basic education?
- What needs do they have in terms of courses, content and learning objectives?
- What motivates them to attend a course?
- What motivates them to learn?
This research module systematically collected and processed information on individuals with a migration background who have basic educational needs. A qualitative research was carried out throughout Austria in order to support educational providers, funding agencies and teaching staff with concrete background knowledge for their work and to promote target group orientation in basic skills provision for migrants.
