This study focuses on migrant adolescents’ perspective on history
education with special reference to their families’ home country. The
data consist of qualitative interviews with 36 students from various
migrant groups (aged 14–16 years). The history of the home country
seemed to be significant for the students and they would have wanted to
hear about it in school; but in most cases, the main source of
information had been family or media.
