Anti-racism teaching to be ‘embedded’ into school life in Scotland

The Scottish Government has unveiled plans to embed anti-racism and race equality into all aspects of school life – including Scotland’s links to the slave trade.

The resource published by Education Scotland aims to ensure children and young people see language, content and imagery that reflects the diversity of culture, identities, and experiences, including their own.

Today also sees the publication of guidance from anti-racism charity the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights and a teacher toolkit published by Scotdec, one of Scotland’s Development Education Centres, both of which will further support teachers in embedding anti-racism across the curriculum.
