Abstract

During the last decade, the Spanish society in general and the Andalusian one in particular have been confronted with some challenges, which are the consequence of the increasing presence of immigrants who have reached the country due to economic reasons. The incorporation of foreign students into the Andalusian schools has been one of those challenges both in quantitative (more than 45,000 immigrant students have been accepted) and in qualitative terms, created by the variety of national and cultural origins. To manage their incorporation into Andalusian society in the sense of providing an intercultural reception through their school integration a series of strategies have been carried out, promoting intercultural communication among the different actors who are present inside the school system: teachers, pupils, parents and the school administration.
