Supplementary school

A supplementary school is a community based initiative to provide additional educational support for children also attending mainstream schools. They are often geared to provide specific language, cultural and religious teaching for children from ethnic minorities.[1]

Supplementary schools by ethnicity

Black supplementary schools in the UK

A movement for Black supplementary schools started in Britain in the mid-1960s, firstly amongst the African-Caribbean communities, and then amongst other African communities. The movement arose from the view that racism was holding children from these communities back, and the schools primarily addressed two issues: provision of basic education along with a specific cultural programme.[2] The George Padmore Institute maintains an archive of material relating to this movement.[3]

Japanese supplementary schools worldwide

Hoshū jugyō kō are Japanese supplementary schools in developed overseas countries supported by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology..[4]
