The State of Education

The State of Black Education in Britain report investigates the persistent challenges and systemic inequities facing Black pupils, parents, teachers and communities in the UK education system.

The key findings include: black students frequently find their voices are marginalised and cultural identities undervalued; there is a lack of representation across the teaching workforce and curriculum; racism in schools remains an issue, particularly in disciplinary actions and navigating Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Comprehensive reform necessary includes establishing equity councils and peer-led advocacy programmes for black pupils, as well as curriculum reform and cultural competency training.
