Stats mask the fact that black boys face high exclusion rates but education in schools means cultural and external factors can’t be blamed for underachievement. Curriculum is not inclusive as black history month is not enough

school is institutionally racist. The curriculum is based on one cultural view. White history and literature dominate the curriculum (ethnocentric) teachers dismissive of non standard English which transfer overt messages. Culture is devalued
