Maintaining inequality Sample Clauses

Maintaining inequality. Despite many examples of school leaders acting to achieve greater equality for learners, there are also examples of indifference and active maintenance of existing inequalities. In Spain a different interpretation of redistribution is apparent when a local administration decided immigrant students must be 'redistributed' to other schools 'when the percentage of immigrant students in a given centre passed 15%, based on the belief that a larger percentage of immigrants in schools would impede adequate learning for the others and thus lead to school failure and violence' (Flecha, 2011, p. 10). Belief that a particular percentage of immigrants in a school is disadvantageous is not supported by empirical evidence (Song, 2011). Concern such as the example in Spain seems to relate more to fears of harming the education of advantaged learners rather than prioritising the needs of those who may be in poverty and using a second language for instruction: not concern for greater equality, but for protecting advantage from erosion.
