Recruitment of black and minority ethnic group teachers - the answer to the problem of underachieving black boys.
I've been looking into the statistics around numbers of black teachers and find a scarcity of data. My suspicion is that this might be a reflection on the small numbers of teachers in the profession, but can anyone else throw any light on this? I'm interested in this theme because I wonder how it relates to the so-called under-achievement of black boys in mainstream education. There seems to be a gradual drop in achievement from point of entry to secondary school even though they may enter school brighter than average.
