Pupil census focuses on ethnic minorities

A new annual census of school pupils will allow the achievement
of pupils from ethnic minorities to be monitored locally and
nationally.

The data from the census will be published, giving a clearer
picture of how particular groups perform and which schools
experience the highest levels of pupil mobility.

A consultation on how to improve the academic achievement of
pupils from ethnic minorities was launched last month. Go to www.dfes.gov.uk/consultations2/03/
