I have Polish pupils in S2 who will soon be making course choices.  Does
anyone have translated materials for this - e.g. description of course
content/ how subjects articulate with career choices.  I realise the system
in Scotland is different but there might be some overlap with England.

  Thanks

  In 2003, it was estimated that there were approximately 98,929
asylum-seeking and refugee children in UK schools. Although they are not a
homogenous group and are children first and foremost, refugee pupils share
experiences and have needs which differentiate them from their peers.
Schools play a vital role in aiding the recovery and assisting the wellbeing
of these children as well as providing a vehicle for integration and
promotion of social inclusion for all pupils. 

This course will provide an opportunity to examine the specific needs of
refugee pupils and investigate positive strategies to support inclusion
within the context of the DfES' Aiming high and Every Child Matters
strategies, underpinned by the Education Act 2004.
