Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. In the past two decades, the education of children from linguistic minority backgrounds in Europe and North America has sparked significant controversy. Many minority children face challenges in school, leading to high dropout rates and a lack of formal qualifications. Educators and policy-makers express concern that an entire generation of alienated youth is emerging from these educational systems without future prospects. This analysis delves into the policy issues affecting minority students in western industrialized societies and showcases successful case studies that have reversed the trend of academic failure among these groups. A key theme is that the academic struggles of minority students stem from the power dynamics between dominant and subordinate societal groups. Schools often reflect and perpetuate these power relations, punishing children for using their mother tongues, which undermines their confidence in their cultural identity and academic capabilities. To combat this failure, it is essential for educators to empower both minority students and their communities. The book presents case studies illustrating successful empowerment efforts, alongside insights from individuals and minority communities actively engaged in advocating for the educational and linguistic rights of minority children.

Paperback. Condition: New. In both Europe and North America during the past 20 years, controversy has surrounded the education of children from linguistic minority backgrounds. An increasing number of minority children are experiencing difficulties at school and many leave school with no formal qualifications. There are fears among many educators and policy-makers that an entire generation of alienated youth with no future prospects is being produced by western educational systems. This book analyses policy issues regarding the education of minority students in western industrialised societies and presents a number of case studies of programs that have been successful in reversing the pattern of minority students' academic failure. A central theme throughout the volume is that the causes of minority students' academic difficulties are rooted in the power relations between the dominant and subordinate groups in society. Schools have typically reflected and reinforced these power relations through strategies such as punishment of children for speaking their mother tongue at school with the result that minority students have not developed confidence in their own cultural identity or academic abilities. Reversal of minority students' school failure requires that educators set out to enable both minority students and communities to empower themselves. The presentation of case studies in which this empowerment has been successfully achieved is complemented by the perspectives of individuals and minority communities who have been involved in the struggle for educational and linguistic rights of minority children.
