This book offers a comprehensive overview of ‘out of school’ ethnic minority young people in Hong Kong. The focus is on the extent of the phenomena, reasons behind it and a description of ‘out of school’ life. Employing qualitative research methods and adopting a case study approach that involved fieldwork comprising 15 in-depth interviews and 2 observations with 11 ‘out of school’ ethnic minority young people, this book provides detailed insights into the phenomena. Information gained from an additional 22 in-depth interviews with 20 other stakeholders related to ethnic minority education, from time spent at three schools and key document analysis are also incorporated. Drawing on critical race theory, this book presents a critical discussion of the ‘out of school’ issue for ethnic minority young people in a privileged Chinese context.

Europe is a multi-ethnic society experiencing a rise of anti-immigration, racist, xenophobic discourses, and right-wing political rhetoric and movements proposing legislation to further solidify structural inequality and institutionalized systems of oppression that fuel educational inequities. Social Justice Education in European Multi-ethnic Schools brings together researchers in the fields of sociology and education to examine debates in multicultural education. Drawing on critical theory, the book takes an in-depth look at how these challenges are being addressed (or not addressed) in educational contexts and in the proposed framework of intercultural education adopted as a conceptual and educational framework by the European Union over the last two decades. The book begins with an analysis of the sociological models and theories of migration and their connection to multiculturalism and interculturalism. It engages in the current debate between multiculturalism and interculturalism, bringing to light the "political rhetoric" that fueled narratives about the "failures" of multiculturalism, which ushered in the intercultural framework. It puts forth a critical analysis of interculturalism, linking it to neoliberalism, and policies of civic integration and the concept of govermentality. Advocating for a transformative framework informed in social justice education that aims to promote more equity in schools, it critically analyzes and discusses intercultural education, the pedagogical extension of interculturalism, as per the European documents highlighting its goals, pedagogies, tensions, and challenges. Social Justice Education in European Multi-ethnic Schools will be of great interest to academics, researchers, and scholars in the fields of intercultural, multicultural, and transformative education.

This book takes up the challenge of examining the thorniest educational issue from a global perspective. It contributes to the evidence-based conversation among policy makers, educators, and researchers around the world about what works to improve the education outcomes and what can make a bigger difference for the education of diverse students. The eleven countries included — the United Kingdom, Austria, Canada, the United States, South Africa, Ghana, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand are unique, and yet overlap in the sense that they all face similar challenges of teaching diverse students. The authors, being education and cultural insiders, discuss country-specific policies, efforts, and best practices in the education of diverse students; share stories of success and failure; and explore current best practices from global, social, political, and economic perspectives. Built on previous theories and research, it describes diverse students’ experiences in the global and information age, and searches for effective policies and practices that help these students to perform better in school and in life. Readers are forced to step outside of their own experiences and commonly held beliefs about education. Conscious recognition that there are other ways of doing things may result in new approaches that we have not explored before. We hope the insights, lessons, and conclusions drawn from examining this pressing education issue from a global perspective will help nations to better understand and deal with it in their own educational system.

This book is a major new investigation into the issues of 'race', ethnicity and education, following the educational reforms during the late 1980s. It provides an up-to-date and critical introduction to current issues and major research findings in the field, exploring the teacher-pupil relationship through a detailed account of life in an inner-city comprehensive. It reveals the influence of different racist stereotypes and highlights the especially disadvantaged position of Afro- Caribbean pupils within a school. Features: * Draws on a wide variety of research projects in ethnic schools to examine: achievement; curriculum content; language use; assessment and testing under the National Curriculum * Uses material collected during two years of research to consider young people's school experiences and issues relating to classroom discipline.

In 2017, the Ethnic Association of South Australia (ESASA) conducted a review of its role in providing support and strengthening students' learning of their home languages. The review was based on research conducted over a six-month period capturing and analysing both quantitative and qualitative data, including enrolment and program participation statistics, interview and focus group discussions and written submissions. The data gathering protocols, discussion and directions were framed around six key areas of activity, namely: - Policy settings - The student experience - Curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment - Teacher development and support in the Ethnic Schools Program - Evaluation and quality assurance - Qualities, values and recognition. Key findings The data analyses revealed the following key findings: - After several decades of provision, a review was timely. - In 2016, there were 91 ethnic school authorities affiliated with ESASA, teaching around 42 languages, with the largest numbers of students in Greek, Arabic and Vietnamese. - Enrolments are principally primary school students (85%). - Students value their experience in ethnic schools' programs highly, but struggle to maintain their commitment in upper year levels and feel their learning is not sufficiently recognised in their mainstream schools. - Teachers in ethnic schools' programs are largely volunteers with varying levels of qualifications in language teaching and education in general, and they are highly committed to maintaining their languages in the community and improving their practice. - Current professional learning provision is somewhat dated, and lacks differentiation, coherence and a tertiary accreditation pathway. - Curriculum design and program development is fragile. Teachers are seeking greater guidance in this area, including curricula that take account of the particular learner groups participating in these programs, language specificity, and alignment with the Australian Curriculum: Languages. - The accreditation/re-accreditation process yields information on the nature and quality of overall provision and compliance, but does not focus sufficiently on quality in language learning itself and improvement in curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment. Recommended directions The report indicates a number of directions for the ESASA and its work in continuing to support the program. These are underpinned by one key recommendation: that a differentiated approach be taken to all aspects of program provision, development and support, with the following series of broad goals: 1. To increase provision, specifically enrolments and retention 2. To enhance the quality of programs, focusing on the student experience and enhanced curriculum and program development 3. To build teacher capabilities 4. To strengthen management procedures to support the overall program 5. To strengthen the value and recognition of the overall program. Conclusion Since the commencement of the Ethnic Schools Program and following the migration history of South Australia there are now differing generations of learners. The dominant feature of the program is complex linguistic and cultural diversity, and this creates particular needs and expectations that are best addressed through a differentiated and developmental approach. This principle underpins a draft strategy (Chapter 6) comprised of goals and recommended actions in the six key areas of activity, designed to guide the work of the ESASA towards quality improvement.
