Abstract

Adapting to the dominant social model appears to be the underlying goal of current Galician educational policy. The programs are directed exclusively toward newcomers, with little regard for the necessity to prepare all Galician children for an increasingly diverse society. Galician educational practice aimed at integration focuses exclusively on foreign students without promoting actions aimed at mutual enrichment (of migrant and non-migrant students alike) through learning about different cultures. Such interventions related solely to students coming from other cultures, but not to those with whom they share classrooms, playgrounds, and other school activities, suggest an ideology of assimilation rather than integration. In this chapter, I analyze perceptions of needs and practices, based on interviews with immigrant associations, NGOs, and Galician teachers.
