OPPORTUNITIES ARISING IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT IN RELATION TO THE MIGRATION

Abstract

The migration as a phenomenon connected with many social topics can cause many challenge in education and in employment as well. The aim of our research is to analyse the possibilities, challenges and best practice used in the educational system internationally during the integration of the migrants. On other hand, we tried to summarize domestic experiences learnt from the practice during the last years. The situation of the migrants entering and leaving the educational system can be radically different from the status of those people who born (and partly raised) abroad. The recognition of prior learning outcomes can help these people but it can generate other debates on the nature of the validated knowledge, its usefulness or convertibleness. Additional purpose of this article and the research done is to gather the most important information, practices and challenges about the labour market presence of the migrants. During this part of the research, we paid special attention to the discrimination the migrants are facing up to, its causes and the treatment methods currently used. To present the certain aspects of migration, which is a highly relevant social phenomenon, is very important because this will give an objective and scientific approach to the investigated issue. In the article we are focusing on the motivating factors of the international migration with special regards to the actual situation in Syria and in their neighbourhood countries (including Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey). Before starting any discussion about the successful integration of the migrants in the labour market or in the educational system we have to pay attention for their living conditions in those counties where they usually stay before their arrival in Europe. Based on surveys done by the OECD we analysed the thoughts of the migrants regarding to their career and schooling perspectives with a comparison to the Hungarian students. During the literature review we found several publication about the openness of the students studying in the Hungarian higher educational system. The surveys showed that the openness of the people depends on the completed level of their degrees: the higher is the completed level the people will become more open-minded. Other literature showed that the migrants are facing many challenges during their integration in the labour market. In the article we are sharing the best integration practices used by the migrants.
