Title Study into racism and bullying in schools Degree of recognition Regional Media name/outlet Huddersfield Daily Examiner Media type Print Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 5/07/11 Description RACISM is still an issue in England’s schools, with pupils and teachers showing racist behaviour, research suggests.
More than four-fifths (83%) of teachers questioned said they had witnessed racist attitudes or behaviour amongst their students.
This included name calling, comments, jokes and stereotyping of different races.
And a researcher at the University of Huddersfield said studies locally had shown that such issues did occur in schools across West Yorkshire.
Elizabeth Nassem, who is working on a study of bullying in schools, knows first hand the problems.
She is the daughter of an Egyptian and was subjected to name-calling at school, even though she was born and brought up in the UK.
She said the new study highlighted problems she had come across in her research.
