Ethnic cultural and socioeconomic diversity
Scientific evidence
- School racism negatively affects students’ motivation and academic performance.
- The best way to ensure that diversity leads to excellence is implementing successful educational actions in classrooms
- Public schools in areas with lower socioeconomic status families are given less funding, therefore increasing property taxes in these lower socioeconomic areas
- Interreligious dialogue is beneficial
- Schools can encourage community development
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
- Roma communities have no interest in education
- 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
Scientific controversy
Needs more evidence
- Significant socioeconomic segregation still exists in schools today
- In Spanish universities, the Roma people remain invisible
- “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
- Applying learning programs to the Gypsy community reduces the impact of school failure
- Desegregation by controlling enrollment is the best option to improve the education of immigrants and Roma segregated in ghettoized schools.
