@mumsbalance: Ep 3. Education and ethnicity. 31% of Pakistanis in England live in the most deprived neighbourhoods. that’s more than any other ethnic group. I find this shocking but I was also one of the statistics. but living in a deprived area doesn’t mean you are deprived. the data measures neighbourhoods, not individual families. the government ranks neighbourhoods using the Index of Multiple Deprivation, which combines 7 domains: income, employment, education, health, crime, housing and services, and living environment. what it doesn’t measure is community, friendship, support and culture. there’s so much that’s amazing about these places that a deprivation index will never capture. this video focuses only on education. living in a deprived area can affect other things too, like health, which i haven’t covered here. what i found is that our kids are holding their own at school, and what we do at home matters. These are incredibly complex issues, impossible to cover completely and from all angles in 1 minute videos. I’m just trying to piece together some data that is available. This is my perspective and there will be other perspectives. Please be respectful to others in the comments.
