A Comparative Perspective on the Education of Black Children in Britain.

Bagley, Christopher

Comparative Education, v15 n1 p63-81 Mar 1979

This paper examines the evidence that Black children of West Indian origin in British schools are underachieving relative to their White counterparts and discusses factors which may underlie these research findings. It also considers educational problems of children of Jamaican origin and education of Jamaican children in Jamaica itself. (Author/KC)
