Minority Status and Schooling in Canada.

Cummins, Jim

Anthropology & Education Quarterly, v28 n3 p411-30 Sep 1997

Explores the educational achievement of francophone minority students in Canada, considering the usefulness of J. Ogbu's (1978, 1991) model of voluntary and involuntary minorities. In Canada, a more flexible and inclusive framework is needed to account for the variability of academic outcomes and to plan interventions to improve academic achievement. (SLD)
