Outline two cultural factors that may affect ethnic differences in educational achievement. (4 marks)

Remember this is a four mark question, which means two factors (one mark each) and one explanation for each one. Many answers will be accepted.1 - language. Some pupils may speak a different language at home and have difficulty in understanding school work.2 - parental attitudes. Chinese parents are pro-school and are more likely to encourage their children to do well in school.
