Ethnicity works alongside gender and class when it comes to educational achievement - 2Material FactorsPupils from minority ethnic groups have an above average chance of living in poverty = material inequality
Number of students on free school meals per ethnic group correlates with the educational achievement of that group - link between social class and achievement - 3Cultural Factors (Positive)Archer & Francis found that parents of Chinese pupils placed an exceptionally high value on education
Basit added that British Asian families see free education as a "blessing" as it offers more opportunities than their countries of origin - put time into helping their children - 4Cultural Factors NegativeDespite strong encouragement from their families, African Caribbean pupils tend to do less well than pupils of Indian origin
Sewell argued that this was because a high proportion of African pupils are raised by single mothers and lack the discipline that a father figure provides - 5EthnocentricismSchools are biased towards White British culture, including the curriculum, food options, dress and focus on christianity
This means that ethnic minorities feel left out and don't perform as well - 6Institutional RacismFailing to provide same quality of service and opportunity to all ethnic groups
Strand found that African Caribbean pupils were less likely to be entered for higher GCSEs and were more likely to be excluded - saw evidence of teacher bias - 7LabellingConnolly noticed that black girls were likely to be labelled as being potentially disruptive by teachers
Mac and Ghaill argued that many still achieved well, claiming that they reject this label and channel their anger into educational success
