Teachers: Equality
(asked on 10th February 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her Department's rationale was for allocating £30,000 to provide training or recruitment of teachers with protected characteristics.
This question was answered on 26th February 2016
School workforce census data continues to show under-representation of particular groups of individuals within leadership positions (in particular for Black and Minority Ethnic and female leaders).
The Leadership Equality and Diversity Fund supports teachers from under-represented groups (as measured by the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010) to prepare for leadership positions.
