Scientific evidence
Hoax
- A student’s race and ethnicity are a cause of the academic achievement gaps
- Many Negro parents have had little schooling themselves and hence are unable to appreciate its value

- Schools in disadvantaged environments cannot perform well
- The Roma community is not interested in their sons and daughters’ studies
- Educational success depends on the socio-economic level of families

Needs more evidence
- “Only-immigrants” classrooms are better for the students learning process
- Studying with people with the same culture produces more benefits than multicultural education
- Roma Women Students’ Gatherings enhance access to higher education
