The paper adopts an experimental approach and draws on data generated from 122 teachers from 19 schools in Delhi. Student’s caste and socio-economic status were randomly assigned to a set of essays written by students such that the assigned characteristics were not related to essay quality. The results show that high-caste teachers hold higher occupational expectations from their in-group category and are biased against the low-caste category. Given the ultra-competitive nature of schooling and the importance of grades in determining access to higher education in India, even a point disadvantage is substantial. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/34/education/do-teachers-have-group-bias-basis-students-caste.html
