Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Black students
lagging in admissions to University of California
“Underrepresented group
of students” may not sound so familiar for those who live in countries where
most of the students at schools come from one ethical, religious, or regional group.
But in a racially diverged
country like the United States of America, where the majority of its population,
the whites excluding Latinos, represents only 63%, it seems to more important
and critical to eye on racial diversity than PISA comparison with other
countries.
An un-ignorable level
of disparity among students’ races has been observed for enrollment for and
completion of higher education in its most populous state, California, ever
since the highly disputed affirmative action programs were opted to ban in 1996.
And African-Americans are the one that have shown the largest drop in both enrollment for state colleges and universities among all the ethnic groups. Why
so?
Enjoy reading and
learning about the complexity and diversity of education outcomes.
