We've offered recommendations for anti-racist reform across a number of articles and reports. 1) The educational response to ethnic and cultural diversity in transitional Northern Ireland: a critical review of policy and research

I'm glad to be part of the opening plenary at next week's BERA Conference on anti-racist practice in education across the four jurisdictions of the UK. As last week's PSNI figures show record levels of racist hate crime in NI, this must be a priority issue locally. (1/?).

Worryingly, 73% of over 102,000 pupils surveyed in England said that 'sometimes', 'rarely' or 'never' found what they learned interesting. What price 'powerful knowledge' when weighed against a dislike of learning? NI reforms must be cautious of replicating these outcomes. (2/2).

At times in the TransformEd agenda, we see glowing reference to England's post-2010 curriculum reforms. What we don't hear is that the number of post-primary pupils saying they dislike school has doubled since their introduction and is now the third highest in the world. (1/2).

The Communities Minister is seeking to end drag queen storytime on the grounds that it compromises the perception of libraries as "welcoming and inclusive" spaces. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, exclusion is inclusion.

It's summer, but our research on post-primary transfer doesn't stop! We're still keen to speak to parents in Belfast and Newry whose children will be going into P7 or Year 8 in September. Please share!

These topics are much more complex and nuanced than a few lines can address, but glad that a couple of the educational issues I raised, including the need for more explicit commitments to antiracism in the curriculum, made it into this piece.

RT @KarenSethuraman:

Paul Frew MLA claims that people in Ballymena "are frightened about illegal immigration". An elected representative should be challenging these expressly false narratives (as well as campaigning for safe and legal routes to the UK more generally), not amplifying them.
