Pupils’ Views of National Groups

This study is concerned with two features relating to the contribution of schools to the development of positive community relations: pupils’ views of other national groups and pupils’ perceptions of influences relating to the formation of these views. It would seem desirable that, in the field under consideration, where opinions or views may be influenced by a variety of sources outside the control of the school, teachers should be aware not only of the trend in pupils’ opinions but also of the way in which pupils regard the school as an influence in forming their views.
