Supplementary Education in Hackney
Large numbers of Black and South Asian children first began to enter the education system in Britain in the late 1950s. Situated in White working class urban areas, the schools they entered were neglected and lacked basic teaching equipment. Black parents across the UK increasingly raised their concerns over the education that their children were receiving. The unsatisfactory response they received led to the development of the Caribbean Teachers’ Association and supplementary schools. By 1980, there were at least 35 supplementary schools across London.
