However, whereas the NFER’s advice to these teachers was to “react to pupils’ insults with humour”, it is worth underlining that our recommendations were fundamentally different. Our research (www.sussex.ac.uk usiercfinal_rep_tta.pdf) looked at the wider constituency of British-born Asian and black student teachers as well as those from overseas whose first language was not English andor who came from a significantly different educational culture.
Xenophobic and racist insults are totally unacceptable. We urged a full implementation of the Race Relations Amendment Act and the raising of awareness throughout education of the nature of racism in British society.
