I'm not aware of any data on the diversity of school eco-clubs \/ groups \/ etc. \u00a0Obviously this will vary somewhat from region to region and from school to school, but my educated guess of a national picture, assuming that eco-clubs are voluntary, involving out of class time commitments, is that there will be:<\/p>\n

\n
far more girls involved than boys<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
a dominance of students from middle class families<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
a family history of being already interested \/ involved in eco activities<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
low proportions of ethnic minority students in the groups<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
a preponderance of students whose families value school and education<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If anyone has any data on this it would be useful to know.<\/p>\n

Of course, the tendency is always to think that not attending such clubs is a negative thing. \u00a0But opportunity costs apply and student time is valuable so it could be that they are not thinking negatively about the eco, but just more positively about something else.<\/p>\n

That too would be good to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
