Exploring the Reasons for the Underachievement of Ethnic Minority Children

Exploring the cause of poor performance of poor children ======== All children go through the same educational system and each child follows the "2000 course" set by the New Labor Party work. The same exam was also accepted at the age of sixteen. So why is there a big difference in the educational level of minority students? My main purpose is to see whether racial discrimination is the main cause of disparity between different ethnic groups in education.

The swan report and the results of other studies show that ethnic minorities do not succeed in education compared to white children. Obviously, this is due to a mix of different reasons leading to this lower achievement. In my opinion, the main reason is racial discrimination and cultural differences. Because most of the UK population is Caucasian, these factors inevitably have a negative impact on the education of ethnic minority children.

Ethnic minorities turned out to be poorly performing compared to white children, but Swan reported that children in South Asia are better performing than white working children of the working class. This suggests that the reasons for poor performance are related to the social class and not related to race. There are a few ethnic minorities in the low social class, but according to the survey, the higher your class, the higher the possibility that you are eligible for education. But with the class alone, we can not be held responsible for poor grades of ethnic minorities. As mentioned earlier, racism at school must be a major element of attitudes towards education of children and parents. There is also the theory that parents' profits play a role in achieving various levels. This can explain the difference between children in the Caribbean in Asia and Africa, but it seems to be a very general conclusion.
