Definition

Anti-racist education is an educational approach that seeks to challenge inequalities. In addition to celebrating culture and difference (i.e. multicultural education) issues of power, justice and inequality are included within the formal and hidden curriculum to help pupils to understand and deal with racism, prejudice and stereotyping.

Young people should be helped to understand how negative attitudes and actions develop, and to recognise some of the consequences of racism in their own and other communities. In this way anti-racist education seeks to challenge racism at all levels- personal, cultural and institutional.
