Establishment Dynamics, Educational Issues and Community Resources. Perspective of Parents of Haitian Descent and Community Practitioners
This paper discusses educational issues and challenges in a multiethnic and disadvantaged urban environment. The authors address the question from the perspective of parents of pupils of Haitian descent and community pratitioners working with the children’s school. The qualitative research data presented analyses these actors’ perspectives not only regarding factors supporting school resiliency, but also with regarding aspects of family life that must be understood and taken into account to better support parents and children. Both parents and practitioners emphasize the effects of the migration journey on parenting and the intertwined relationship between the family’s migration project and the child’s school project.
