The BME attainment gap – what do we know about it and what can we do?

Inclusive Practice LTA Conference 2018 Student attainment

Professor Jacqueline Stevenson presented her paper at the LTA Conference, Wednesday 12th July 2018.

Ethnic differences in academic attainment are widespread and have persisted for many years
They are only partly explained by ethnic differences in entry qualifications
They vary from one institution to another and from one subject area to another
This suggests that they result in part from teaching and assessment practices in different institutions and subjects
BUT staff continue to blame students for their deficits
