NSW最好的中学，James Ruse农业高中，是所有精英中心里有移民背景学生比例最高的。
通过信息自由法得到的数据显示，该学校的入校申请里列有母语属于非除英语的学生占95.2%。全校只有41个学生是英语为母语的，平均每个年级才7个。
全省最好的10个精英中学里80%的学生是移民后代。这10个精英中学全都排在HSC的学校排名20名之内。
其中最突出的是华裔。他们有最高的入学申请人数和成功率。去年有2361个华裔入学申请人，其中1242个成功考入精英中学。
第二名是越南裔，然后是韩国裔。去年总共有3912名学生考入精英中学。考生中有5516个是非英语背景的，其中42%（1828人）成功考入精英中学。
人口和城市研究中心的主任，Bob Birrell说：考入精英中学的考生大多来自亚洲中产阶级或以上的家庭，他们注重教育和职业。
他说精英中学并没有为绝大多数家庭提供帮助。在NSW我们在增强一个名族的优势。如果NSW政府真的在乎平等机会，它应该为这些精英中学划区，限制跨区入学。
墨尔本大学的 Richard Teese 说把好学生都放到精英中学和私校会让普通学校无法和他们竞争。这会造成两极极端分化。
Top school's secret weapon: 95% of students of migrant heritage

The best performing school in the state, James Ruse Agricultural High School, is also the selective school with the most students from a migrant background.
New figures obtained under freedom of information laws show that 95.2 per cent of students list a language background other than English in their entry application.
Only 41 students from an English-speaking background are studying at the school - an average of seven in each year.
Children of migrants fill almost 80 per cent of the places offered at the state's top 10 selective high schools, which are all ranked in the top 20 HSC performers.
On average only 20 per cent (or 320 students each year) are from an English-speaking background.
The dominant cultural group is Chinese, with the most applicants and the highest success rate in the entry test. Last year, 2361 applicants were from a Chinese background and 1242 were successful.
The second most represented group was Vietnamese followed by Korean. In total, 3912 students were awarded a selective school place last year, with 5516 applicants from a non-English speaking background - 42 per cent (1828) of whom were successful.
The co-director of the Centre for Population and Urban Research at Monash University, Bob Birrell, said the successful students largely represented middle- to upper-middle-class families from Asia who put a heavy emphasis on education and professional achievement.
He said selective schools were not providing assistance to the vast majority of families. ''In NSW we are entrenching advantage within one particular ethnic group. If the NSW government was serious about equal opportunity, it would put some geographical boundaries to ensure better access to [top] schools.''
A specialist in schools systems from the University of Melbourne, Richard Teese, said that the pooling of high achievers in selective and private school systems had raised the performance bar beyond the reach of students in mainstream schools.
''When you pool resources like that you multiply their impact and you give the students who have access to that distinctive advantages over everybody else,'' Professor Teese said.
''You are setting up a situation in which you [create] extremes of advantage and extremes of disadvantage. If you took those students out of those hot-house environments they would still do well. But by combining their resources you multiply their advantage. It is a zero-sum game: some win, but others must lose.'' |
