Watching BBC news and they just had a very very brief segment on black teachers. A few key points from the segment;
- 1% SLT are black
- Black teachers constantly face microagressions and overt racism
- Black teachers are three times more likely to face formal actions
-Black teachers are pigeonholed into pastoral jobs
- Students would like diverse and reflective (of the multi-cultural society they live in) teachers
Very interesting that this segment was at 22:30 on a Monday night during the summer holidays 🤷🏾‍♀️
SLT definitely needs to be more diverse across the country and without the token gestures. Real change and diversity should be implemented.
