Ethnicity and Schooling - Aboriginal-Australian Children in a Suburban Australian School
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study is placed in the context of a theoretical perspective suggested by Barth (1969). He proposes that in polyethnic societies ethnic relations will be framed in ways which tend to maintain systems of ethnic dominance and inequality. Schools are viewed from this perspective as but one institution by which systems of social dominance are reinforced. Bias in favour of dominant groups is seen to be built into the everyday, generally accepted, operative culuture of the institution, so that the skills and values required for success in school are those generated from the culture and values of the dominant ethnic group.
