Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

Lewisham Southwark College General Further Education College
Further Education and Skills inspection report Date published: 30 March 2015 Inspection Number: 440233 URN: 130415 Lewisham Southwark College General further education college Inspection dates 2–6 February 2015 This inspection: Inadequate-4 Overall effectiveness Previous inspection: Inadequate-4 Outcomes for learners Inadequate-4 Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Inadequate-4 Effectiveness of leadership and management Inadequate-4 Summary of key findings for learners This provider is inadequate because: . governors, senior leaders and college staff have not made enough progress in improving key weaknesses identified at the previous inspection, including the poor provision in both English and mathematics . teaching, learning and assessment are improving too slowly, and too few learners experience good teaching . learners’ attendance and punctuality are poor . since the creation of the college in 2012, leaders and governors have failed to raise standards and expectations of both teachers and learners . the college’s curriculum does not currently meet the skills needs of local employers, and progress to resolve this weakness has been far too slow . the college’s precarious financial position has left the college with limited resources to improve provision swiftly. This provider has the following strengths: . good pastoral support, especially for the most vulnerable learners . good provision in drama and dance, and in hospitality and catering . good safeguarding of learners; the college provides a welcoming and safe community for its diverse body of learners. Inspection report: Lewisham Southwark College, 2–6 February 2015 2 of 16 Full report What does the provider need to do to improve further? . Urgently tackle the weaknesses identified in both the English and mathematics provision so that all learners have the opportunity to progress to, and succeed in, higher levels of qualification in these subjects.
