English: Black Educational Inequality in the UK, SOAS University of London
Black Educational Inequality in the UK was a panel discussion held at SOAS University of London on 30 April 2019. Find out more at https://www.soas.ac.uk/about/events/2019/30apr2019-black-educational-inequality-in-the-uk.html In the UK, 78% of white students receive a 2:1 or First at university compared with only 53% of Black students. Beyond the racialised award gap, access to university has become an urgent matter of concern as admission, retention, satisfaction and employment outcomes unfairly differ for Black students. Experiences of racism on campus are being spoken about more openly, but how can we really make a difference? Join us for an evening of community discussion and brainstorming whereby issues of access, racism, anti-Blackness and progression are shared. This event will be solutions-focussed and prioritising the Black student and staff experience at universities. Feedback from the event will be used in developing a new platform to support Black students throughout their higher education journey. - Is there a lack of awareness in our communities regarding award gaps, retention and student outcomes? - What has been successful in bridging the gap between students, staff and academics? - Has conversation around award gaps taken attention away from immediate issues of access such as finance, mental health support and pastoral care? - What does ‘decolonising’ mean to and for Black students and academics? - How can we amplify the need for support/funding for progression to postgraduate study? Chair: Comfort Moye Panellists - Baroness Valerie Amos - Director of SOAS University of London - Dr Nicola Rollock - member of the Wellcome Trust’s Diversity & Inclusion Steering Group and, a Patron of Advance HE’s Race Equality Charter - Paulette Williams - Head of Student Success Projects at University College London (UCL) - Robert Temowo - works at Kingston University as an Education Liaison Officer. - Kaleke Kolawole - postgraduate student of African Studies with specialism in Economics and Government and Politics at SOAS University of London. |
