Abstract

Anti-racist content has been lacking in the education system in the past. When it comes to addressing issues of race and racism candidly in schools and classrooms, most teachers and administrators tend to ignore race and racism questions. Based on a survey that evaluated anti-racist education and training at their school, the questionnaire measured participants' perceptions of anti-racist education and their satisfaction with the training. 44 participants completed all of the survey questions. This study analyzed the effectiveness of the anti-racism training and the challenges faced by the participants in the teaching. The results of the survey showed that participants were very satisfied with the anti-racism training and the teaching environment they found themselves in, but participants still faced teaching difficulties and support from the school.Still, participants faced challenges in teaching, and their reports of racial incidents varied from school to school.
