Former model C schools need to employ more Black teachers - Having Black teachers in the classrooms of what are commonly still considered ‘white schools’ would not only be beneficial to Black learners, but to learners of all races
movements. It was during this period that white institutional cultures, Eurocentric curriculums, and social and epistemic injustice was heavily critiqued. Institutions of higher learning were found wanting in transformation and many had to implement policies that would begin the process of transforming university spaces.
Compounding the problem of some white teachers’ cultural misunderstanding or indifference, research suggests that a gap exists between white teachers and Black learners that is exacerbated by powerful social conditioning that cultivates actual negative attitudes towards Black learners. Many white teachers work from within a racially and culturally discriminatory and exclusionary system, which often predisposes them to bias against Black learners.
A genuinely and fundamentally transformed education system can help to re-educate white educators and learners and prepare them to engage with Black people beyond their roles of servitude as cleaners and gardeners in their homes and schools. At the same time, it would afford Black learners the opportunity to feel represented in their learning environments and to foster relationships with adults of a similar background, who understand and acknowledge them.
