Immigrants in Iceland and Sweden seem to be much better students than other immigrant students in Scandanavia, according to a PISA assessment. PISA is the Program for International Student Assessment of the OECD countries. These findings were announced recently in Oslo. Júlíus K Björnsson, chairman of The National Centre for Educational Materials says these findings are not 100% conclusive due to the low amount of immigrants in Iceland compared to the other Nordic countries, and that most of our immigrants tend to be from European countries, therefore they tend to cope better with subjects such as English. -mld
