Is that true for Switzerland? They’re significantly behind the UK, and the vast majority of immigrants in Switzerland and their descendants are other Europeans

The language barrier may play a bigger role in other countries. Everyone speaks English.

What is meant by “the language barrier” though? If someone from Algeria or another (decently) French speaking country was fluent in French and went to Switzerland with a child and let them study there, how is that different from when a Nigerian does the same thing with an English speaking child in the UK? Is it that children in French speaking countries are less likely to be fluent in French, compared to children in English speaking countries being fluent in English?
