Abstract
This paper explores the personal reflections of educators and contributors to policy on the shifting status of race equality in education policy in England between 1993 and 2013. The interview participants included some of the most notable figures active in race equality work in England. Part of the paper’s significance is its focus on the perspectives of actors with longstanding involvement in the field of race equality, who have witnessed changes in policy over time. As ‘stakeholders’ with direct involvement in education policy-making and enactment, the participants tended to focus on three historic policy moments. These were: measures aimed at closing ethnic achievement gaps that began in the early 1990s; the diversity and citizenship agenda that featured in New Labour’s term; the Macpherson Report (1999) and the subsequent Race Relations (Amendment) Act (2000). Participants’ narratives converged in a largely pessimistic view of 1993-2013 as a period in which race equality policy had gained momentum, touched the policy mainstream - but then failed. By the end of the New Labour administration (1997-2010) and the start of the subsequent Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition government (2010-2015) explicit focus on race equality in education policy had, in the views of the participants, been severely diminished.
