The achievement of British Pakistani learners

"What are the key factors underlying the success of British-Pakistani-Muslim learners, especially those of Kashmiri heritage? How can schools capitalise on their diverse language skills? How significant are the relationships between homes, schools and mosques? Do state schools have a responsibility to nurture their learners' religious identity? What contribution is made by the professional development of staff and the qualities of educational leadership? What makes some schools and LEAs buck the trend?" "This book explores these and other questions enriched with a series of practical school-based experiences. Written for teachers and headteachers, it identifies and promotes good practice in raising educational achievement."--BOOK JACKET.
