Schooling Immigrants in France in the 1990s: Success or Failure of the Republican Model of Integration?

van Zanten, Agnes

Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v28 n3 p351-74 Sep 1997

A model relying on state institutions and schools for its transmission, the Republican model, has strongly influenced the perception and treatment of immigrants in France. An analysis of contemporary French schooling shows that the model is still producing cultural assimilation but is less successful in promoting the economic and social integration of immigrants.
