The introductory part of the paper contains a brief explanation of the topic, followed by theoretical considerations of the links between social inclusion and education. Education in germany, with an emphasis on the education of children with migrant background, is described in a separate section, as well as the obstacles and opportunities for the inclusion of migrant children into the education system of germany. The paper represents a case study and is based on the qualitative content analysis of documents of the german educational system and educational outcomes of migrant children.
