Mechanisms for Implementation of School Policies Against Racial Discrimination

Mechanisms for Implementation

 

Positive actions to eliminate racial discrimination should be undertaken in consultation with the relevant existing school sections.  Such activities should be coordinated by the Equal Opportunity Office and include:  

Developing cross cultural awareness and sensitivity among general and academic staff and students;

Giving due recognition to the history and experiences of the indigenous peoples and of ethnic groups;

Developing training and resources to assist staff and students in dealing with racist incidents;

Encouraging sensitivity by academic staff and students to all teaching, practices and materials, with a view to the elimination of racist content;

Informing staff and students of their responsibilities under the school policies and the relevant legislation;

Informing those who experience racial discrimination of their rights and providing them with avenues of complaint and redress within the school;

Ensuring that appropriate measures (including disciplinary action where necessary) will be taken against those who practice racial discrimination;

I am offering solutions for overcoming these injustices. The first is the fact that a problem has to be acknowledged before it can be solved. People have to realize that although the system is founded on the principles of equality, there is a certain amount of inequality and disparage among race and class. The second solution is to restore legitimacy. People have to believe that they will be looked at as equal and restore faith and trust in the system. The third idea is restoring the community. By allowing individuals to interact in a productive community would help to eliminate problems before they began. A strong sense of guidance and support from those around you can give you the drive to overcome problems.

I’m explaining how providing individuals with resources can help them to prevent crime in their neighborhood and help them to restore faith in the justice system. I think the idea of education for individuals to help to keep them away from crime, in addition to teaching the franconi and the poor what to do if they are stopped without just cause would be a small step in helping to overcome stereotypes. If a community is dedicated to keeping itself clean and prosperous, it will help to bring up a new generation that will have strong values and morals that can lead to ridding the population of stereotypes and misguided ideas about race.
