A recent report by Racial Alliance Wales (2021) highlighted that âracismâ continues to be a problem within Walesâs educational institutions.
Anti-racism policies in schools should provide guidance towards achieving social justice for all pupils within Walesâs educational institutions. Yet, in the absence of a universally agreed definition of âracismâ, school policies hold the potential to further exacerbate, reinforce and maintain racial inequalities systematically and institutionally.
My PhD proposes to look at racialised pupilsâ everyday experience of discrimination within various Secondary schools across Wales. I will be looking at schoolsâ Anti-racism policies to understand how effective existing policies are towards tackling racism within secondary schools across Wales.
