Hispanic education  

Definition

  • Latino students have historically faced educational settings in which their home culture, language, and heritage are not valued and they are coerced into assimilating the dominant culture. Many students struggle to adopt a school identity under such circumstances and fail to succeed in school. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Hispanic/Latino Education]
