Reflect & Connect to the Content
New Specification changes: Suggest three becomes Outline three. Therefore 1 mark for factor, second mark for partial outline. Student – Just identify the factors for now, no explanation needed. E.g. lack of workspace at home

Reflect & Connect to the Content
Can we develop a partial outline for each factor? Divide up between students for a perfect answer. Key focus of explanation: How do they lead to underachievement? New Specification changes: Suggest three becomes Outline three. Therefore 1 mark for factor, second mark for partial outline.

Ethnic differences in achievement & External factors (Material Deprivation & Racism)
Examine differences in ethnic deprivation Explore notions of material deprivation & racism and analyse key studies Evaluate the role of different factors in educational achievement SPEC: Different sociological explanations of ethnic differences in educational achievement in relation to external factors, e.g. material deprivation and racism in wider society. ALL (Grade C/D) Briefly explain differences in ethnic achievement, recall one study on either material deprivation or racism, and offer some general criticisms. MOST (Grade B/C) Thoroughly explain differences in ethnic achievement, recall two studies on material deprivation and racism, and offer a range of criticisms. SOME (Grade A/A*) Detailed explain differences in ethnic achievement, recall three studies on material deprivation and racism, and offer a range of depth of analysis and evaluation.
5
Official Statistics on Material Deprivation
Interpret and summarise in 3 sentences. Can you make any cross correlations with the statistics on achievement?
6
Material Deprivation:
According to Flaherty (2004): > Pakistanis & Bangladeshis are 3X more likely than Whites to be in the poorest 1/5 of the population. Lower Income Africans, Pakistanis & Bangladeshis are 3X more likely to be unemployed than Whites. > 15% of minority groups live in overcrowded homes (2% for Whites). > Pakistanis are 2X as likely to be in semi/ un-skilled jobs compared to Whites.
7
Material Deprivation:
According to Palmer (2012): 50% of EM children live in low-income households,compared to 25% white. EM twice as likely to be unemployed than whites. EM household 3 x more likely to be homeless. 50% of Bangladeshi & Pakistani workers earn under £7 per hour, compared to 25% White. Concept Check: Shift Work (More likely for EM to do this type)
8
As a result of Material Deprivation
A03 - What is the opposite for EM with good achievement and economic capital? Link to achievement
9
Material Deprivation:
Why are EM at greater risk from MD: Living in economically depressed areas with high unemployment and low wage rates, eg? Cultural Factors: ‘Purdah’ Women in Muslim households not permitted to work outside the home. Recent migration groups: poor language skills and foreign qualifications not recognised. Asylum seekers not allowed to work. Racial discrimination in Labour & Housing market.
10
Racism in Society: Rex (1986): Wood (2010): Mason (2000) argues that;
‘Discrimination is a continuing & persistent feature of the experience of Britain’s citizens of minority ethnic origin’. Rex (1986): Racism leads to social exclusion and accordingly poverty. This is shown in housing (substandard), employment & education. Racism also leads to discrimination both inside & outside the classroom. Wood (2010): Sent identical letters to 100 top UK companies but alternated between the names ‘Evans’ & ‘Patel’……… the replies to the ‘White’ candidate were more helpful and informative. EXTRA NOTES FROM TEXTBOOK Remember – It is important to evaluate these arguments.
12
Demonstrate your understanding: 15 minute timed question.
Outline and explain two external factors other than cultural deprivation, for underachievement in Ethnic Minority groups. (10 marks) Tip: Link analysis with class to get A/A* marks A02: Explain how it leads to underachievement Analysis = Deeper explanations, relevant examples, use of statistics, interlinking with other issues (Class & Gender). 2x PEEEL, 1x Mini-evaluative
