Minority Ethnic Pupils’ Experiences of School in Scotland (MEPESS)(2005)
The central aim of the study was to identify and document the experiences of minority ethnic pupils in a range of school settings in different parts of Scotland. The specific objectives were:
- to identify key factors relating to ethnic diversity which promote or restrict inclusion;
- to establish teachers', parents' and pupils' perceptions of minority ethnic pupils' educational achievements, experiences and expectations;
- to establish the factors which affect minority ethnic pupils' achievement and attainment;
- to examine the experiences of minority ethnic pupils in terms of educational attainment, participation in school activities, and personal and social skills; and
- to determine the impact on minority ethnic pupils of different teaching and learning styles, curriculum provision and assessment systems
