This book focuses on global research findings dealing with various forms of visible discrimination in the classroom. The synthesis of research evidence suggests that intelligence discrimination, race and ethnicity discrimination, social class discrimination, labeling students according to their academic achievement, and the self-fulfilling prophecy (SFP) have a powerful impact on students’ self-esteem, engagement, motivation and their academic achievement. Research findings also demonstrate a positive correlation between teachers’ perception of their students’ abilities and students’ actual performance in the classroom. The book analyses and critiques recent research findings dealing with major forms of discrimination in schools, discriminatory practices, their impact on students, and implications for the student’s social identity, self-esteem, and academic achievement. Finally, the book offers relevant and valid strategies for overcoming unacceptable levels of discrimination in schools.

This book serves as a sourcebook of ideas for researchers, educators, practitioners and policy makers specializing in the areas of globalisation, performance culture, and discrimination in schools. It offers an overview of education policy reforms and strategies for eliminating discrimination in schools and enhancing authentic education reforms, designed to provide the equality, quality of education for all.
