Race, culture and ethnicity teaching in post-European times

We live in post-European times, where even though the UK is still part of the continent of Europe, we no longer share the community and economic basis of the European Union. This has racial and cultural implications for school populations and consequent effect on ways of teaching and learning. In addition the identification, and language of, and the response to race and ethnicity in schools is now much less visible in the curriculum and government policy (Gillborn, 2005, 2013; Warner, unpublished thesis, 2017). This chapter links with Conteh’s Chapter 12, ‘Language and Learning in a Multilingual World’, and Elton-Chalcraft, Revell and Lander’s Chapter 15 on British values.
