ABSTRACT

Mobility has, with good reason, become a key theme in considerations of modernity. With ever-increasing global movement, virtually every aspect of societal and individual functioning is impacted, from families, households and communities to “the constellation of countries linked by migration flows” (King and Skeldon as quoted in Glick Schiller and Salazar 2013: 183). Our interest in this chapter is on one particular institutional phenomenon: schooling. Here we focus on the intersection of global movement, language, and schooling at the early childhood, primary and secondary levels.
