The article presents current problems concerning the adaptation process of migrant children in a Russian educational school, and related both to the contradiction of the value orientations of non-ethnic schoolchildren and the host society, and to the language barrier preventing a child of another nationality from successfully entering a new socio-cultural environment. The author analyzes the consequences of the lack of preparedness of educational institutions to work with migrant students and examines the fundamental differences in the conditions of adaptation in urban and rural schools. Attention is drawn to the connecting role of a social educator who coordinates the activities of all subjects of the pedagogical process in solving the problem of adaptation of a migrant child. The difficulties of integration and socialization of schoolchildren that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic are shown.
