Cultural deprivation is a theory that sees the under-achievement of some ethnic groups; as a result of inadequate socialisation in the home. These include:
- intellectual and linguistic skills - this causes them to under-achieve due to them being poorly equiped for school as they haven't developed reasoning and problem-solving skills
- attitudes and values - lack of motivation and education causes them to under-achieve
- family structure - many families do not have parents that are willing or able to help and do not have the finances for resources
