ITEM A: On average, pupils from some ethnic groups achieve more highly at school than
others. For example, Chinese and Indian pupils generally outperform white pupils at GCSE.
This is even true when we take into account whether pupils are from deprived
backgrounds, as measured by whether they receive free school meals. For example,
Chinese pupils on free school meals do better than white pupils who are not on free school
meals.

Applying material from Item A, analyse two reasons why pupils from some minority ethnic
groups achieve above average results in school. (10 marks)


Paragraph 1:
- Different attitudes and values.
- Driver and Ballard argue that Asian families have high aspirations for their children
-> contributes to educational success as those attitudes translate down to their
children.
- Could be why “Chinese and Indian pupils generally out-perform white pupils at
GCSE”.
- HOWEVER -> Moynihan argues that black children are not socialised into the
culture of having high aspirations -> they adopt fatalistic attitudes.
- Means that they do not work hard at school -> they underachieve.
- Contradicts the view that ethnic minority students achieve above average at school.
- BUT it supports the statement “pupils from some ethnic groups achieve more highly
at school than others” -> some ethnicities achieve more highly than black pupils.
Paragraph 2:
- The attitude of the teacher and how they label students.
- Stereotypes -> teachers have come to expect Chinese students to do well ->
concentrate on those students at the expense of white and black students.
- League table positions and results may mean that teachers want to target those
who they feel will achieve the highest grades.
- Also due to labelling, teachers may have an already ingrained idea of how well
these children achieve as a stereotype -> more likely to put them in a higher set
which pushes them to their maximum ability.
- This will create a self-fulfilling prophecy for those who are labelled as bright
students -> other ethnic minority groups underachieve as they are negatively
labelled.
