Ethnicity and Achievement

• Black Caribbean young people are overrepresented in special schools for those with learning difficulties - 1.5 x as likely to be categorised with emotional, behavioural or social difficulties as White British students

• Black Caribbean school students are more likely to be permanently excluded from schools than White British students of the same sex.

• Also, more likely to be excluded for longer fixed terms than white students for the same offences

• Setting/streaming: minority ethnic groups are overrepresented in the lower streams

• Ethnic minorities are less likely to stay on at the end of compulsory education, are more likely to leave school without qualifications, and are more likely to follow vocational courses 

subtle things such as language or cultural knowledge can guve an advantage to white pupils granting them white privilege.
