Report of the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent on its nineteenth and twentieth sessions 2017, para. 77
Paragraph
Paragraph text
States must ensure that people of African descent have access to quality education which enables them to compete on an equal footing with others in the labour market. States must acknowledge the persistence of structural racism and multiple forms of discrimination within the education system and must therefore put in place appropriate legislation and affirmative action policies to tackle the problem. School curriculums for all should take into consideration an accurate account of the history of the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans, enslavement and colonialism.
