We do not hold data on how many schools teach anti-racism education. Every school is different and each school will face its own challenges. Schools have the autonomy to tailor their approach to tackling these issues and to take action according to their individual requirements.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Equality Act introduced the Public Sector Equality Duty. Under this duty, state funded schools must have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between people with protected characteristics and none.<\/p>
<\/p>
The National Curriculum also provides many opportunities to raise awareness of racial and religious diversity and tolerance.<\/p>
<\/p>
Teaching about racism and discrimination can be included as part of the statutory programme of study for citizenship education at ages 11-16 in maintained schools. Citizenship education should include the development of pupils\u2019 understanding of the diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom and the need for mutual respect and understanding.<\/p>
Schools are also free to teach about racism in personal, social, health, economic (PSHE) education, where pupils can reflect on and challenge notions of prejudice.<\/p>
<\/p>
Schools are already expected to promote the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils and, as part of this, fundamental British values, including the values of mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. This is at the heart of their responsibility to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.<\/p>

The EBacc has been designed to be limited in its size in order to provide a rigorous academic core whilst leaving space in the curriculum for pupils to study other subjects of their choice. On average, pupils in state funded schools enter nine GCSEs and equivalent qualifications, rising to more than ten for some pupils. As the EBacc covers up to eight GCSEs, this leaves room for other choices, including creative, artistic and technical subjects.<\/p> <\/p> The Government\u2019s response to the consultation on the EBacc, setting out our policy, will be published in due course.<\/p> Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are going to university at a record rate \u2013 they were 43 per cent more likely to go to university in 2016 than they were in 2009.<\/p> <\/p> The Government is committed to maintaining the UK\u2019s world class higher education system while living within its means and ensuring all those with the talent to benefit from a higher education can afford to do so. To put higher education funding onto a more sustainable footing, the Government asked future graduates to meet more of the costs of their studies through replacing maintenance grants with loans.<\/p> The equality analysis for the 2016/17 student support regulations assessed the impact of this policy change, including the impact on students from low income backgrounds.
