ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some questions and answers using the data presented in the findings. In common with young people of other ethnic minority groups in Britain, Chinese adolescents were faced with questions about their identities which their European British peers did not have to grapple with. The nature of British schooling is the product of western European thought as interpreted by British educationists and modified by British history: it is a reflection of British culture. One of the most disturbing findings was the widespread experience of racism. Recommendations for improving the teaching of English as a second language to Chinese students date back to 1985 when the Home Affairs Committee suggested that local education authorities should supply bilingual teachers to schools with Chinese pupils for this purpose and that the Department of Education and Science should monitor their availability and take steps to increase the supply if necessary.
