News summary

Scotland's National Anti-Racism Framework for Initial Teacher Education aims to dismantle systemic barriers for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) students in teaching, addressing their current underrepresentation at just 1.8% against a goal of 4% by 2030. This framework seeks to cultivate racial literacy among educators, acknowledging the lived experiences of BME teachers to foster a more inclusive educational environment. In New York City, a new Black Studies curriculum is being implemented in public schools to highlight the contributions of people of African descent, aiming to provide students with a more comprehensive understanding of history and social challenges. Meanwhile, decolonisation efforts in Africa are pushing to reform legal education by integrating indigenous knowledge and practices, moving away from colonial legacies that dominate existing legal frameworks. October marks Black History Month, encouraging widespread engagement with Black heritage and culture in Britain, supported by resources from Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. These initiatives collectively emphasize the importance of diversity, representation, and historical understanding across educational frameworks globally.
