Somali Parents and Schooling in Britain (Paperback)

Although Somalis have settled in the UK in substantial numbers, the schooling needs of Somali children have received little attention, except for in Mohamed Kahin's Educating Somali Children in Britain (1997). This new book, completed by Professor Catherine Wallace after his death, continues his work in this area, with a focus on how parents can maximize the achievement of Somali pupils in UK schools. Much will be applicable to other minority groups, and to families in global societies of increasingly diverse ethnic, class and cultural backgrounds.
