Abstract
The various ways in which ‘racial forms of education’ have been conceptualised by policymakers and educationists is presented as a backcloth to a critique of multicultural education (MCE) and its concern with deracialised modes of analysis and strategies. This is followed by a consideration of antiracist education (ARE) and the ways in which research might assist policymakers in the enactment of non‐racist criteria in various educational settings.
