School, a Miniature of Society

"School, a miniature of society" is an insightful guide that addresses the challenges and experiences of young immigrants in Finland. It specifically examines the role of the Finnish education system and the school experiences of young Iranians growing up in a multicultural society. The book highlights the additional obligations and demands that this generation faces compared to their parents, and discusses the high rates of educational disadvantage and unemployment among youth. Through qualitative research, including interviews and participant observation, the personal stories of the participants are captured to gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing their educational and career plans. The findings are significant not only for the individuals involved but also for policymakers in education, school staff, and employers dealing with the integration and support of immigrants.
