The Minority Ethnic Achievement Grant continues to support pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds, including refugees and asylum seekers, who are learning English as an additional language. It aims to improve standards of achievement for pupils from certain minority ethnic groups identified as being at risk of underachieving. The grant supports local authority ethnic minority achievement services including specialist English as Additional Language (EAL) teachers and teaching assistants. The grant amounts to £10.5 million in 2013-14 and is shared between all 22 local authorities.  It is based on a funding formula which affords the highest weighting to asylum seeker children to recognise their special needs.
