“…Grades were deemed important for most of the students within the focus groups, above all else, potentially reflecting an impact of neoliberalism on higher education and the importance accorded to a 'good degree' over personal growth and development (Maisuria and Cole, 2017), viewing education as an act to simply gain a [better] job. It could be argued that having high ambition (Law, Finney and Swann, 2012) but not seeing this reflected in grade achievement may impact on student self-confidence and self-esteem, continuing the cycle of self-depreciation.…”

“…A CRT analysis of career guidance policy argues careers work does not take place in a vacuum-schools are spaces where racial inequalities and racial identities are reproduced. Viewed through a CRT lens, the colour blind approach taken by the government to careers work, and the wider context of widening social inequality as a direct result of government policy, including a move away from prioritising race equality by government since 2010 (Law, Finney & Swann, 2012), are connected. Whilst the DfE guidelines on careers work do mention 'those from disadvantaged backgrounds' (p. 5), the guidelines are deracialised, which critical race theorists would argue are likely to leave current inequalities intact.…”

“…It could be argued that the claims made by politicians regarding alleged aspirational deficits among young people from migrant backgrounds might partially be informed by assumptions of cultural deficit, and indeed, fuel assumptions that minority young people are lacking aspiration. In fact there is evidence that aspirations among minority young people are not low, nor are they lower than their white counterparts (Butler and Hamnett, 2011:3;Law et al, 2012;BTEG, 2008), and are therefore not instrumental in differential educational or labour market outcomes.…”

“…Οι Law, Finney & Swann (2014) διερεύνησαν τις σχέσεις μεταξύ ηλικίας, φυλής (έγχρωμοι) και εφήβων μαθητών από αστικές περιοχές της Βόρειας Αγγλίας. Βασικό εύρημα της έρευνας συνιστά η έλλειψη σαφούς ή ισχυρής σύνδεσης μεταξύ του να είσαι νέος, «έγχρωμος» και αγόρι και του να έχεις χαμηλές εκπαιδευτικές και επαγγελματικές φιλοδοξίες.…”

“…Για παράδειγμα, από έρευνες στις ΗΠΑ αναδεικνύονται υψηλές προσδοκίες από την πλευρά των Ασιατο-Αμερικανών να προχωρήσουν σε ανώτερα επίπεδα εκπαίδευσης προκειμένου να μπορέσουν να ανέλθουν κοινωνικά και να ξεπεράσουν τις φυλετικές διακρίσεις τις οποίες βιώνουν. Φαίνεται, μάλιστα, ότι οι Ασιατο-Αμερικανοί «ενεργοποιούν» τις πολιτισμικές και τις υλικές τους πηγές προκειμένου να μπορέσουν να ακολουθήσουν εκπαιδευτικές διαδρομές που θα οδηγήσουν σε επαγγέλματα με υψηλές προοπτικές εξέλιξης (Archer, 2002;Carnevale & Rose, 2004;Cheng & Starks, 2002;DeWitt et al, 2011;Goyette & Xie, 1999;Krahn & Taylor, 2005;Law et al, 2014;Xie & Goyette, 2003). Ακόμη, πρόσφατες κοινωνιολογικές έρευνες δείχνουν ότι το πολιτισμικό κεφάλαιο και το habitus των οικογενειών με μεταναστευτικό υπόβαθρο επιδρούν σε σημαντικό βαθμό στο σχηματισμό των εκπαιδευτικών φιλοδοξιών/προσδοκιών των παιδιών τους αποβλέποντας στη «νομιμοποίηση» της θέσης τους στο κοινωνικό γίγνεσθαι των χωρών υποδοχής (Devine, 2009;Pásztor, 2010).…”
