    Racism, Prejudice, and Discrimination

      Legislation in the UK and other EU countries prohibits discrimination in education and supports inclusive education.
      The EU countries also have obligations under international human rights law to provide inclusive education for all regardless age, race, gender.

      Finding ways to fight or prevent discrimination is essential to ensuring students’ educational opportunity.
      Confronting discrimination can be challenging and intimidating, but it is critical to safeguarding students’ rights to learn.
