Schools in deprived neighbourhoods: 93% regularly see pupils with difficulties in the classroom
In the Netherlands, pupils at schools in deprived neighbourhoods have a significantly more difficult time than children attending schools in conventional neighbourhoods, with 93% of teachers regularly seeing children with problems at school. The corresponding figure in conventional neighbourhoods is 59%. Breaking down the problems into separate groups reveals an even more worrying picture. For example, 87% of teachers indicate that pupils in deprived neighbourhoods often have underdeveloped language skills, versus 23% in conventional neighbourhoods. For concentration difficulties, the breakdown is 72% versus 57%, and the difference in experiences with large numbers of pupils with learning deficiencies is a staggering 40% (70% as opposed to 30% in conventional neighbourhoods). These are findings from a study carried out by MWM2 for Jeugdeducatiefonds (Education Fund for Children), Stichting Kinderpostzegels Nederland (Dutch Children’s Charity Stamps Foundation) and ABN AMRO Foundation. Today the organisations present the results at a seminar entitled ‘Unequal Educational Opportunities’.
