Two-tier education system criminalises black youth, says Institute of Race Relations
Black working-class young people in England are being unfairly excluded and criminalised by a “two-tier education system”, a thinktank has said.
An Institute of Race Relations (IRR) report focusing on London says government responses to inner-city youth rebellions and moral panics over serious youth violence and knife crime have led to black pupils disproportionately being sent to pupil referral units (PRU) and alternative provision (AP).
