What is cultural deprivation in education?

Not having the values, skills and knowledge that schools expect. It comes from home upbringing.

A small vocabulary and unclear speech make learning harder. It affects reading, writing and exams.

Short, simple speech that relies on shared context. It often uses slang.

Clear, detailed speech that explains ideas. It uses full sentences and precise words.

Schools use elaborated code in lessons and exams. Pupils used to restricted code may struggle.

Fatalism, collectivism, immediate gratification and present-time orientation.

Thinking your future cannot change. So you do not plan to improve it.

Focusing on the present, not the future. Long-term goals seem less important.

Immediate means wanting rewards now. Deferred means waiting and working for later rewards.

Parents who value school set routines and help with work. This support boosts progress.

It builds vocabulary and understanding. This helps pupils take part in class and exams.

It blames families. Critics like Keddie say working-class culture is different, not deprived.
