Glasgow City Council is being urged to increase the diversity of staff and teachers to help tackle racism, as part of its Black Lives Matter commitment.
It comes after a motion was passed by the city council in 2020 following the growth of the Black Lives Matter movement in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020.
Councillors agreed to tackle access to employment and opportunities by removing discriminatory barriers, take more serious action against racism and racial hate crime incidents in Glasgow schools and recognise the historic legacy of chattel slavery based on the exploitation of enslaved Africans.
