Participants took part in a real - time electronic poll which
explored their views on a series of issues relating to their profession: Among the results were: over three quarters of BME
teachers considered themselves to be ambitious, yet stated they are being held back by racial discrimination, and the attitude of senior colleagues; nearly two - thirds (62 %) of BME
teachers felt their school or college was not seriously committed to addressing their professional development needs and aspirations; 63 % of BME
teachers said their employers were not committed to ensuring their mental and physical wellbeing at work, with
workload cited as the single most negative factor impacting on their wellbeing; the vast majority of BME
teachers felt the Government does not respect and value
teachers and does not understand the day to day realities of teaching (99 %); three quarters of BME
teachers said they were not confident that their headteacher will make professional and fair decisions regarding their future pay.
