One-third of children in UK 'have heard racist comments at school'

#abroad #education

The survey found that children living in more diverse areas were far more likely to have heard racism, ranging from four in 10 of those living in London, making it the most likely area, to about one in seven of those living in Northern Ireland, the area where children were least likely to have heard racism.

The results were not disaggregated according to the ethnic background of respondents. However, the experience of one child quoted in the report lends credence to the suspicion that children with ethnic minority heritage are more likely to hear racism.
