Abstract	Educational attainments were assessed at ehe end of the first year in 5 junior schools. A group of Asian pupils from non-english-speaking homes was compared with the indigenous pupils of the same school classes. Attainments and progess since testing a year earlier are contrasted for spelling and mathematics. In spelling the average of the scores of the Asian objects was equal to the national mean and little below thw average of the indigenous sample. By contrast, the Asians' average in mathematics was significantly less than that of the indigenous peers and below the national mean. Analyses of items in the mathematics test show language for number concepts to be a factor in these results. The place of language is discusses with regard to the teaching of number to young children from ethnic minorities. (DIPT/Abstract uebernommen)
