Abstract

[From a life-course perspective, school leaving certificates mark the end of a crucial phase in a person’s life. The school system as part of a national life course regime produces academically ‘successful’ and ‘not successful’ students, and, by certifying their degree of success, opens or closes gates to further education and different types of occupations. From the point of view of migration research, educational outcomes represent the first mile-stone of structural integration in an immigrant child’s life course in the country of destination. Hence, these outcomes – school leaving certificates – are of interest to both migration and life-course research.]
