Immigrant pupil data to be collected
The government is to set to begin collecting data on how many children from immigrant families are being taught in England’s schools at the start of the next school year.
A change in census recored will expand the information that the Department for Education collects, and will include nationality and country of birth alongside the current requirement of marking a individual’s ethnicity.
It is believed that the new information will not be used as part of an investigation into the ‘impact of mass migration’ on schools. The census takes place three times a year.
