abstract: 'Focusing on data and policies from England, trends in educational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantage by area are traced from the late 1960s when the first pilot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
projects were established in the UK, to the present. The origins of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these developments and the subsequent rises and falls of such area-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies in England are reviewed. Specially collected data for the pilot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
areas from the 1960s and national data for England from 2000 are used to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
draw out some striking patterns of changes over the period. Though many
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the areas remain highly disadvantaged, educational measures at age 16
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and at entry to higher education (HE) indicate some important changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thus the settled, white working-class pilot area in the 1960s with just
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
below average results had fallen back very substantially by 2013,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly in entry to HE. By contrast the newly settled Asian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant area in Birmingham where educational performance was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exceptionally poor in the 1960s had moved above average despite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remaining highly disadvantaged. Analysis of the national results since
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000 using local area data showed that these trends were widespread
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
across England. Disadvantaged `multicultural urban areas'' were doing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
markedly better than the disadvantaged white working-class urban areas,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where in many cases traditional industries had closed. This was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially marked at entry to HE where multicultural areas had rates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
close to the national average of 40\% while white working-class urban
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
areas had rates of entry to HE of between 10\% and 15\% of the age group
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and this gap has widened rapidly in recent years. These trends are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to be the source of major resentment, with one group finding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
itself increasingly excluded from higher level employment opportunities,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the other failing to find opportunities that match their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expectations once they leave education.'
