This<br>economically driven labour-migration had strong socio-political consequences \u2013 especially in the field<br>of education. The compulsory education for the children of the migrated workers proved to be a<br>challenge for the authorities of the sending and receiving countries as well as for the immigrants<br>themselves. This paper focuses on the educational policies of Italian associations in Switzerland in<br>the 1960s and 1970s, which corresponded to the immigrants\u2019 uncertain situation between temporary<br>sojourn and permanent residence in Switzerland. In the view of the Italian organizations, the edu-<br>cation of their children had to be aligned for a possible school career either in Switzerland or in Italy.<br>They agreed that educational disadvantages in Switzerland had to be avoided as much as possible, as<br>the chance of reintegration into schools back in Italy had to be guaranteed. Thus, they were in search<br>of the best schooling for two possible futures. However, in the long run it was not only their struggle<br>for an adequate education for migrants\u2019 children, but also a new law in Italy that succeeded in trans-<br>forming elements of compulsory schooling in Switzerland towards a more transnational education.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s): Philipp Eigenmann Source: https:\/\/www.zora.uzh.ch\/id\/eprint\/119203\/ Source: https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/download\/57824684\/SchoolingfoTwoFutures_2015.pdf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[141,7,119,318,232,9,79,175,490,117,402],"class_list":["post-38458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","tag-141","tag-article","tag-associations","tag-children","tag-education","tag-english-language","tag-equal-opportunities","tag-italians","tag-school-attainment","tag-school-integration","tag-temporary-admission"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38459,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38458\/revisions\/38459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swissmig.unine.ch\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
