De Ene School is De Andere Niet: Allochtone Meisjes in het Voortgezet Onderwijs(Different Schools, Different Outcomes: Ethnic Girls in Secondary Education)

摘要

In the study the two following questions have been investigated: Is it possibleto make a distinction between secondary schools concerning the school careers of ethnic girls, their attendance and their feelings about school. Can this distinction between schools be explained by differences in school features. The first part of the research question was whether schools differ. In general, the answer is an affirmative one, yet the differences vary in significance. Feelings about school hardly differ, variations in non-attendance and drop-out rates are small, only the attainment of the ethnic girls shows important differences between the schools. The second question was concerned with the school features explaining the differences between the effectiveness of schools. The main school features are process-factors, organizational features which can be manipulated by heads of schools and teachers. Process-factors which indicate achievement-oriented school practice appear to be connected with the effectiveness of the school regarding the quality of attainment. With respect to the results of education for the ethnic pupils, the impact of the type of school leads to the conclusion, that schooling has not been very effective, in particular for the Turkish and Moroccan girls.
