Abstract
This study investigated the academic success of former Yugoslavian refugee students in the Netherlands and compared the contributing factors to their native counterparts. Instead of giving a negative character to the educational performances of migrant students, we should regard having a migration background as a benefit that allows immigrant students to achieve higher education. Also, if we can identify how contributing factors of educational successes differ between a migrant group and natives, it can cater towards the needs of students with a migration background. This study aimed at answering the following research question: how do factors that contribute to educational successes of ex-Yugoslavian refugees differ from those of natives in the Netherlands? A qualitative research approach is obtained to gain an in-depth understanding of how those contributing factors differ. The results showed that the Dutch natives attributed their educational successes mainly to their intelligence and talents, as well as to their parents who did not put any pressure on their school performances. Whereas former Yugoslavian refugees considered their independence and having siblings as major contributing factors to their academic success.
