Q.Why do Africans Get Poor Grades? A. Institutional Racism   
Black Caribbean pupils are being subjected to institutional racism in
English schools which can dramatically undermine their chances of
academic success, according to a new study.

Researchers have uncovered evidence that teachers are routinely under-
estimating the abilities of some black pupils, suggesting that
assumptions about behavioural problems are overshadowing their
academic talents.

The findings, based on a survey which tracked 15,000 pupils through
their education, add weight to the theory that low achievement among
some black students is made worse because teachers don't expect them
to succeed.

"Black Caribbean pupils" do not come from Africa.
