- Motion text
Conference notes that research in the higher education sector show that pay penalties for ethnic minorities are significant in the sector with black men and black women earning the least on average. Equality and human Rights Commission research also points to the fact that ethnic minorities typically earn less within occupations than their white British counterparts.
Conference believes that the further education sector needs to be able to produce robust statistical analyses in relation to race equality in the workplace. This would include studies on recruitment, progression and pay. This would also necessarily cover intersectional perspectives.
Conference resolves to:
1. work with relevant stakeholder bodies to establish a data collection authority in FE along the lines of the Higher Education Statistics Agency
2. develop research proposals with the EHRC to investigate the state of workplace racism in FE.
