This study takes an unembellished look at how both young people from South-East Europe perceive their own educational aspirations and how external observers assess those aspirations too. On the one hand, the young people have their say: they tell of their everyday experiences at school, their vulnerability and the discrimination they have experienced, and their rebelliousness and pursuit of a decent life. On the other hand, teachers and social workers describe their daily work and their—partly culture-based—views on those young people. The book's findings address, among other issues, the institutional logic of the school system in terms of its selection process, the belief in talent as a form of legitimisation as well as teachers'assessments of their students'ability to play and be creative in an educational context plus the perceptions of the young people themselves in this respect. This study casts certain prejudices aside: young migrants are not ‘different'or ‘averse to education'—they want to be educated. This book is intended to contribute to the debate on racism in the Ger-man education system. |
