In recent years immigration has become one of Europe's most urgent matters. For countries like Germany, Belgium, France, England, Italy, Sweden and, certainly, Spain, immigration constitutes a controversial reality. People worry about maintaining the standard of living and welfare of society. This brings about a new challenge that we must address from many perspectives: educational, political, health care, religious, civil. The immigrants' arrival appears as one of the most relevant factors of recent Spanish history. Migration cannot be understood without bearing in mind the socio-economic context of our country. If we want to continue supporting our standard of living and economic progress, we need to reach a few demographic indexes that would be unobtainable without immigrations; therefore, immigration is indispensable and necessary for the well-being of Spanish society. In this article we deal with migrations from Morocco to Spain; we will analyze in concrete the family's educational practices, because in spite of the geographical vicinity of our two countries, the mutual ignorance of our cultures is great. This state of affairs implies certain difficulties effecting the coexistence of both social groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
