European schools should improve their methods for teaching migrant students. The European Union has been making efforts to meet the needs of migrant students for some time. From the 2009 Eurydice report "Integrating Immigrant Children into Schools in Europe," which suggests measures to foster inclusion in the larger community and communication with parents, to the UK "National Curriculum Statutory Guidance" (Department of Education 2014), which requires that teachers must take into account the needs of pupils whose first language is not English, efforts are being made at every level. Nevertheless, change is slow and the current unprecedented number of refugees and migrants is overwhelming. In this forum, the article briefly discusses what is being done for the education of migrants within the European Union.
