University tutors are being told not to dock marks for spelling mistakes because requiring good English could be seen as “north European, white, male, elite”.
Several universities are adopting “inclusive assessments” as part of an effort to narrow the attainment gap between white and black, Asian and minority ethnic students and to reduce higher dropout rates among those from poorer backgrounds.
Chris McGovern from the Campaign for Real Education: "It's barmy... it's very demeaning to suggest that spelling is something that white elitist males have".
