The recruitment of new teachers from minority ethnic groups Bruce Carrington Alistair Bonnett Anoop Nayak Christine Skelton Fay Smith Richard Tomlin Geoffrey Short Jack Demaine 2134/610 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/The_recruitment_of_new_teachers_from_minority_ethnic_groups/9472559 This article reports on part of a larger, ongoing two-year investigation supported by the Teacher Training Agency into the recruitment of new teachers from minority ethnic backgrounds via Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) courses in England. The authors focus here on interviews with admissions tutors, course directors and other senior staff at teacher training institutions. The interviews revealed differences between institutions in the measures taken to attract minority ethnic students. The research indicates a need for much clearer guidelines for admissions tutors on the issues surrounding the question of ‘positive action’ on the recruitment of new teachers from minority ethnic groups. 2005-12-08 10:49:46 untagged Language, Communication and Culture not elsewhere classified Studies in Human Society not elsewhere classified Sociology
