What is it about?
Since the mid-2000s race equality has become marginalised in UK education policy. In this article influential stakeholders reflect on shifts in race equality policy in the 20 year period, 1993-2013. They focus on issues such as the Macpherson Report, institutional racism, London/ City Challenge and the citizenship agenda. They explain what they regard as government retreat from tackling structural racism.

Perspectives
