A Call for Change in the Public Education System in Nova Scotia
The United Nationâs International Decade for People of African Descent and Nova Scotiaâs Ministry of African Nova Scotian Affairs recognize that students of African descent continue to experience inequities. As previous studies indicate, parents of Black learners identified that many educators lack knowledge and experience in understanding students of African descent.This study explored student achievement from the perspective of parents of children of African descent attending public schools in Nova Scotia. Participants included individual interviews and focus groups with parents from rural and urban areas. Based on Bronfenbrennerâs ecological theory framework, a thematic analysis of the data was conducted, a dominant storyline related to the familiesâ experiences in school and subsequent themes emerged: we are treated differently; we donât feel connected; we know there are challenges: the resistance of parents; and we deal with injustices but persevere. These findings provide recommendations to improve the educational success for Black learners.

Des Ă©tudes antĂ©rieures dĂ©montrent que les parents dâapprenants Noirs ont identifiĂ© que plusieurs Ă©ducateurs manquent de connaissances et dâexpĂ©rience quant Ă la comprĂ©hension dâĂ©lĂšves dâascendance africaine. Cette Ă©tude explore la rĂ©ussite scolaire de la perspective des parents dâenfants dâascendance africaine frĂ©quentant des Ă©coles publiques en Nouvelle-Ăcosse. Les participants incluent des entretiens individuels et des groupes de discussion avec des parents provenant de rĂ©gions rurales et urbaines en Nouvelle-Ăcosse. BasĂ©e sur le cadre thĂ©orique Ă©cologique de Bronfenbrenner, une analyse thĂ©matique des donnĂ©es a Ă©tĂ© entreprise, un fil conducteur dominant liĂ© aux expĂ©riences scolaires des familles, et des thĂšmes rĂ©solutoires ont Ă©mergĂ© : nous sommes traitĂ©s diffĂ©remment ; et nous ne nous sentons pas connectĂ©s ; nous sommes conscients quâil y a des dĂ©fis ; la rĂ©sistance des parents ; et nous font face Ă des injustices mais nous persistons. Ces constats fournissent des recommandations pour amĂ©liorer le succĂšs acadĂ©mique des apprenants Noirs.

Conceptualisations of childrenâs wellbeing at school: the contribution of recognition theory
A large study in Australian schools aimed to elucidate understandings of âwellbeingâ and of factors in school life that contribute to it. Students and teachers understood wellbeing primarily, and holistically, in terms of interpersonal relationships, in contrast to policy documents which mainly focused on âproblem areasâ such as mental health. The study also drew on recognition theory as developed by the social philosopher Axel Honneth. Results indicate that recognition theory may be useful in understanding wellbeing in schools, and that empirical research in schools may give rise to further questions regarding theory
