- Newly arrived immigrant youth are entering Sweden in unprecedented numbers, putting increasing demands on the educational system. There is a growing body of research on newly arrived children’s experiences of school introduction. However, research on the experiences of students who arrive in Sweden during the latter school years (15-18 years of age), i.e. who are expected to transition into upper-secondary education, remain limited, particularly in relation to age and imagined futures. Our paper is a contribution to this emergent field of research. Preliminary analyses of interviews with ‘late arrived students’ and staff at three upper secondary high schools highlight the significance of age and time in this process. The results indicate a discrepancy between the students’ perceptions and expectations of this transition and that of the school staff. The staff, following the institutional logic and the curriculum, expects prescribed progression of knowledge. Consequentially they opt for a prolonged introductory period. The students, on the other hand, describe a sense of deceleration of the future, by being held back in introductory classes. As a result, they will be “off time” compared to peers. Also, the deceleration of the future is interpreted in terms of a delay in the imagined biography.
