内容説明

The Chinese community in Britain, and more recently also some schools in the maintained sector, has been playing a major role in the provision of Chinese language education for their own children at weekend Chinese schools. How far has such an educational initiative solved the problems of Chinese pupils in Britain? This book analyses some major academic and psychological problems of school children of Chinese origin in Britain as a result of culture shock and the lack of understanding from parents and appropriate support from school. These problems have been highlighted with case studies of Chinese children who joined the system at different ages. In addition, the bilingual-bicultural education policies and programmes for Chinese children in both the public and the voluntary sectors in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles are analysed to see whether they can offer any solutions to the problems encountered by Chinese pupils in the British context. This book will be particularly useful to policy makers, educators, school administrators, teachers, counsellors, community or social workers, researchers and students concerned about the improvement of educational facilities and services for ethnic minority children and the promotion of racial harmony in multicultural societies.
