Foreign origin students' profiles in schools with a high presence of immigrant scholars in the Basque Country

In recent years, studies related to the phenomenon of school concentration in Europe have increased. The education system of the Basque Country has also these dynamics, although the literature on this subject is quite scarce. The aim of the article is to describe the profiles of foreign students' families who consider that their children are studying in schools with a high presence of immigrants. To that end, we have analyzed the socioeconomic conditions of immigrant families, as well as other factors that may affect the phenomenon of school segregation. In this sense, our study corroborates that socioeconomic conditions affect the phenomenon of school segregation, but, in turn, points out the need to take into account other factors that may influence it. Thus, significant differences have been detected according to the origin of the families, highlighting the heterogeneity of the immigrant collective, as well as the need to analyze the influence that the system of linguistic models of the Basque Country has on immigrant students' school concentration.
