Abstract |
As
a mapping exercise, this research entails gathering information that
re-visits earlier research conducted by STEP, which examined Gypsy/Traveller
attendance at all schools in Scotland, over a five-year period in
the early to mid 1990s. The main research objective will be to gather
data through a mixed method approach that will include a combination
of telephone enquiries and questionnaires designed to help schools
and site-managers to extract relevant information from their records
about Gypsy/Traveller children during the years.
* August 2001 to July 2002
* August 2002 to July 2003
It
is hoped that ths information will contribute towards changes/progress
in local authority educational support for Gypsy/Traveller pupils. |
