Tidningen the Guardian beskriver de låga förväntningarnas betydelse för de svarta barnen i Storbritannien.
Black children are being systematically marked down by their teachers who are unconsciously stereotyping them, it has been revealed.
Academics looked at the marks given to thousands of children at age 11. They compared their results in Sats, nationally set tests marked remotely, with the assessments made by teachers in the classroom and in internal tests. The findings suggest that low expectations are damaging children’s prospects.
The study concludes that black pupils perform consistently better in external exams than in teacher assessment.
