In previous briefs to the Minister, the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) has given advice on inclusion in the classroom and on Indigenous education, so this brief will not address these two issues directly. It will, instead, consider the impact of discrimination and the promotion of inclusion in the school environment, the curriculum, student achievement, and teacher education. Much of the research we have identified relates to racism, and there are certainly issues specific to racist behaviour, but we recognize that the mindset that causes racist behaviour often causes discrimination against “others” of all sorts and that the remediating strategies are often similar.
