"From the educational point of view, schools where students are immigrants from a single origin produce better results"

International research professor, University of Maastricht

Dutchman Jaap Dronkers is a controversial figure. He knows it and it does not appear to bother him: he is not a politician or out to get something. This professor at the University of Maastricht, specialising in educational performance and social inequality, defines himself as a researcher and this allows him to speak openly, even on delicate matters such as immigration.
