One of the significant factors influencing education of socially disadvantaged pupils is the teachers' beliefs about the group of pupils. Teachers' beliefs can influence teachers' judgements and teaching approach.

We suppose that the determinants can significantly affect teachers' beliefs about the group of pupils.
