 - In Britain, African and African-Caribbean students traditionally under achieve compared to other ethnic groups
- Many of the barriers to learning preventing young Africans from making a success of their lives in Britain have been identified, including:
- • the culture gap between the British raised young people and their African parents, and between the home and school
- • institutional racism in the educational system – low teacher expectations, stereotyping, peer pressure, paucity of Africans teachers even in schools with large African populations, syllabi that do not resonate with ethnic minority students
- • lack of a clear sense of cultural identity and consequent low self esteem
- • lack of culturally and racially appropriate role models
- A.C.S! encourages young Africans to be confident in their African identity and develop a clear sense of purpose. Our dedicated team of qualified, experienced African teachers provide role models for the young people and work hard to inspire them to take responsibility for their own learning.
- A.C.S! students are self-disciplined and organised. Although ACS! focuses on just three core National Curriculum subjects, the ACS! approach has a positive effect on students’ other subjects and general attitude in school.
