The NEU is committed to tackling racism and decolonising the curriculum.
Racism is a structural barrier perpetuated by individuals that lead to discrimination against a person because of their race. This discrimination can include assumptions about capabilities based on racial stereotypes, the denial of promotions or a dismissal of the expertise of the racialised individual. These injustices are still experienced every day by Black people, including Black educators.
The NEU uses Black in a political context to encompass ‘all members who self-identify as Black, Asian, and any other minority ethnic groups who do not identify themselves as white.’
This page is dedicated to resources which challenge racism.
We will use this page to host links to resources for educators to use in schools. These are resources that have been recommended to us by our members or produced by them. Please use your professional judgement to adapt any resources to suit your classes and the context in which you teach.
