Primary schools reject minority pupils over test score fears: Trouw

Primary schools are structurally refusing to accept children with an ethnic minority background because of fears they may drive down test scores, experts from multicultural institute Forum say in Friday's Trouw.

Schools fear that children who don't speak Dutch as a first language or who are 'behind' in other ways may have a negative impact on the school's Cito score, Forum says. Most primary school children take exams known as the Cito in their final year. The results are used to determine school performance.

In addition, schools are worried about becoming classified as 'too black' and therefore unpopular with white parents, starting a negative downwards spiral, Forum told Trouw.

Research

'This is not good for integration and we will end up with parallel societies,' Forum says.

The research was carried out by the Nijmegen-based KBA bureau and involved interviews with dozens of parents plus 12 school heads and civil servants, Trouw said.

Although it was a small research project, complaints about discrimination are 25 years old, Forum's education expert Zeki Arslan told the paper.

'In this research, education professionals also acknowledge it happens on a structural basis,' Arslan said. 'And this in a country where we have freedom of educational choice... I hope this small survey will lead the minister to set up a major research project.

Support

School board association PO-Raad supports Forum's position. 'We hear these signals as well,' a spokesman said. 'And if it is happening, it is unacceptable.'

Some 12% of Dutch primary schools have more than 50% ethnic-minority pupils. Parents of children with a minority background who try to register their children at white schools hit a variety of obstacles, Trouw said.

These range from simply feeling unwelcome to long waiting lists. In some cases they are referred to a more mixed school 'where there is more experience with language disadvantage', Trouw said.

"Monikulttuurisen instituutin" tutkijat tutkivat, ja löysivät rakenteellista rasismia. Haastattelututkimuksen otantana oli kymmeniä lasten vanhempia, ja lisäksi 12 koulun rehtoria, ja virkamiehiä.

Otanta vaikuttaa vitsiltä, ja tutkijat puolueellisilta.

Abstract
In this article we compare research we did 30 years ago in Dutch schools among youth of diverse ethnic backgrounds about their identities with today's research evidence. Taking the position that education is a site for implicit and explicit identity development mediated by the social conditions in which young people grow up and the political climate regarding multiculturalism and inclusiveness, we sketch a picture of changing frameworks relating to education and multicultural societies and a picture of developments in the identification with others and society of urban youth of different descent. The possibility to meet in ethnically mixed schools, a meaningful curriculum and qualified teachers to guide the processes of identity development of all students towards the ideal of inclusiveness are among the features of education taken into account. Lessons that can be learned for the research agenda are reflected in the discussion.

Keywords: inclusive education, identity development, teachers' professionalism, citizenship education

I hope this small survey will lead the minister to set up a major research project.

Yllättävä johtopäätös. Miten minusta tuntuu että kun tutkimuksen tulos päätetään etukäteen niin on aivan sama minkä kokoinen tutkimus tehdään.

Vaikea keksiä missä muualla ns. monikulttuurisuuden käytäntö ja teoria on niin pahasti ristissä kuin koulumaailmassa.
