Young people from the Irish Traveller community are the least likely to enter highereducation in the UK, according to a new report HEPI_news
Young people from the Irish Traveller community are the least likely to enter higher education in the UK.
In Ireland, for instance, 11% die by suicide and life expectancy is up to 15 years shorter than the wider population. That compares to about 6% of young people from Gypsy and Roma communities and about 37% of all 18-year-olds in the UK. But the HEPI report suggests that problems in education for pupils from those communities start earlier.The report linked poor educational outcomes with the prejudice and exclusion faced by Travellers
"Poor outcomes for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller students in education must be situated within the context of the prejudice and exclusion GRT individuals and communities face in wider society," the HEPI report said. They were also much more likely to be excluded from school, partly down to the bullying and racism some children from Irish Traveller backgrounds face.
