Immigrant children are more likely to study than Norwegians, among the most valuable young people from #BiH

Statistics from Norway show that children of immigrant parents born in that country reach a higher level of education than ethnic Norwegians.

It has been found that high schools mostly end up with young people originating in China, Sri Lanka, India, Vietnam and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, 87 percent of girls and 85 percent of BiH-born boys graduate from high schools within five years. The average for Norwegian students is 66 percent for girls and 51 percent for boys.

"It's promising. We must not miss out on the opportunities we have in Norway, "Una Pašović, a student of Norwegian media in the PRC, said. Her parents came from BiH, and in the 1990s they fled to Norway. Una believes that people in higher education are motivated by the conditions that prevail in the country they came from. "We were refugees, and now we must not waste the chances that we have received. Our parents tell us clearly that education should not be taken for granted, "said Pasovic.
