The recruitment of new teachers from minority ethnic groups
journal contribution
posted on 2005-12-08, 10:49 authored by Bruce Carrington, Alistair Bonnett, Anoop Nayak, Christine Skelton, Fay Smith, Richard Tomlin, Geoffrey Short, Jack DemaineThis 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.
