The Role of NGOs in Providing High Quality of Education to Young Immigrants The case of Spain

초록/요약

Spanish society is experiencing a discernible shift towards greater pluralism. The influx of individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds has initiated a demographic transformation in Spain with far-reaching implications for the future. As a consequence of this expanding immigrant population, numerous Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have emerged. Employing qualitative research methodologies, the main objective of this study is to investigate the contribution of NGOs in Spain toward supporting young immigrants. Furthermore, this research interrogates the extent to which NGOs can fulfill their commitments to improving educational equity for young immigrants. To achieve these objectives, a comprehensive examination is conducted, encompassing the various initiatives undertaken by migration-focused NGOs operating in Spain. Interviews with three selected NGOs and the inclusion of specific projects about education and integration further enhance the analysis. The findings of this study highlight the pivotal role of NGOs as influential agents in the integration of young immigrants into the Spanish educational system and society as a whole. These organizations have effectively established themselves as significant stakeholders, actively contributing to the advancement of educational opportunities and social inclusion for young immigrants. Despite these notable achievements, it is important to acknowledge that NGOs in Spain still face certain limitations. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the achievements of NGOs while also considering the existing limitations and exploring avenues for further support and collaboration to overcome these obstacles and enhance their impact.
