Yes

Well, all I can say is try being called a paki for all your childhood and being treated as less human and less British than your peers. Then come back to me and tell me diversity and inclusion isn't important.

 @9FZ5M9Pdisagreed…7mos7MO

It is ultimately a waste of money. Education is about preparing people for the world of work not about instilling certain social values within a person. This type of training is irrelevant and is simply a way to keep moronic notions of culture war ideals and will only bolster the rightwing accusations of wokeness within education, something that detracts from their own failings in government. Only those who have actually committed hate crimes or some form of discrimination should be subject to such training.

 @9GYSR4Qagreed…5mos5MO

it's too important not to be covered, if you are white, cis, straight then you have so much privilege and power in your words, britain needs to teach their children that discrimination is wrong

 @9F54W23Labourdisagreed…8mos8MO

YOU LEARN THROUGH RESPECT IN ALL ASPECTS ON ALL FRONTS NOT JUST ELEMENTS HIGHLIGHTED AS POTENTIAL ISSUES

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

No

 @9GFS9GTdisagreed…6mos6MO

As an ethnic minority myself, some level of insight on diversity and inclusion would've been beneficial to my own personal school life - where racism was widespread and ingrained deeply within the students.

 @9G85KTDdisagreed…6mos6MO

People of different ethnicites and races shall know about the diversity of our great country and respect everyone, this will only help us to make us a better nation

 @9GYSR4Qdisagreed…5mos5MO

Students should have it instilled with them from a young age not to discriminate against anyone and that we are all equal

 @9FPFYX7disagreed…7mos7MO

Diverse people are the most important people in our country, they bring their cultures and without them life in the UK would be awful.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

No, and mandatory diversity training should be banned

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

Yes, and all schools should require mandatory diversity training

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

No, diversity training should be encouraged but not required

 @9G85KTDdisagreed…6mos6MO

I agree to that but just for the debate
It is essential for our citizens to learn about the diversity of our great country, this shall help in reducing racism and promoting understanding between people of different races and ethnicities who deserve equal rights to other humans, our county shall be accepting and encouring to teach about diversity instead of saying our culture is the best, teaching people about diversity and people respecting different cultures will only make this country great not just by name but literally

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

Yes, and immediately expel any student that displays racist behavior

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...1yr1Y

No, only private schools should be allowed to require mandatory training

 @9LNFN6Canswered…1wk1W

No, children should be taught history and the facts that lead to discrimination not talking about the difference

 @9LLTW74answered…1wk1W

This and so many other things should be the parents' duty, we need to educate people on how to be better parents.

 @9LLQMDHanswered…1wk1W

I feel like schools should create an environment in which people from diverse communities should be treated fairly and teachers should have to teach tolerance for people from different backgrounds I also think the lack of classes on critical think and stats in relation to political issues creates an environment where ignorant positions can't be challenged

 @9HKYK28Social Democraticanswered…5mos5MO

As long as diversity includes disability. Too often it does not, and the resulting training creates more problems than it solves.

 @9H47YKGanswered…5mos5MO

No, but promote the idea of students sharing their culture amongst peers and having cultural celebration days rather than make it enforced that it’s a “training”.

 @9GH9YLFfrom Pennsylvania answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but people from those groups should be speaking about how to interact with them. Having an abled person discuss how to interact with a disabled person is not helpful. They almost always get it wrong. Same for a straight person discussing how to speak to queer people, or someone from the country discussing how to speak to an immigrant.

 @9G5MCLJanswered…7mos7MO

Diversity training should be mandatory as to increase understanding and decrease confusion, and a psychological exam for all students, more education given to those who commit acts of discrimination, then extensive retraining and a full psychological evaluation and deep dive into the person and then expelled should they do it again after retraining.

 @9FY5N22answered…7mos7MO

No, we're all the same except for few biological differences hurting other kids whether it be physical or emotional is called bullying and teaching kids not to bully should be required

 @9FV77GNanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, as long as it is made clear to parents and prospective pupils that it is something that the school does

 @9FSHX9Yanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but only diversity training with fundamental learnings that are widely agreed upon within medical, psychological, and diverse populations. Such training must be closely scrutinised and adhere to high standards of rigour.

 @9FRFH7Vanswered…7mos7MO

Less formal diversity “training” should be required in the way of informal teaching, education and awareness raising

 @9DXKP88answered…8mos8MO

Schools should teach a soft form of education about inherent biases. Teaching that having a bias isn't inherently wrong and the bad thing comes from not recognizing and challenging that bias.

 @9DPBQFMGreenanswered…8mos8MO

No, this should be covered on the school curriculum where critical race theory should be taught

 @9DCWFC2answered…8mos8MO

No but comparative religions should be part of the curriculum and cultural awareness should be a value of each school to promote acceptance of other beliefs and lifestyles.

 @9D355DLanswered…9mos9MO

Yes, but only train them about disability, autism awareness and neurodiversity

 @9CXF6S8answered…9mos9MO

 @9BYJBY4answered…12mos12MO

No, if a student is acting in a discriminatory or hateful manner they should be punished for doing so. But diversity training cannot undo the reason why the student had committed those acts. Diversity training in schools will only fuel the ongoing culture war and have no effect on the truly bigoted.

 @99Y6HT6answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but focus on learning and appreciating other cultures as well as your own. Try not to focus solely on the hate crime.

 @9LG823Banswered…2wks2W

Yes, but it should be balance diversity training for students that promotes cohesion without division or promotion of radical views

 @9LDRMDWanswered…3wks3W

It should be available for all students, but only mandatory for students who commit acts of discrimination.

 @9KX6VDManswered…1mo1MO

Yes, the concepts should be applied within the curriculum but not specifically trained into students

 @9JXTWTCanswered…2mos2MO

'Diversity training' is really the wrong terminology for schools. Instead, having curriculum content about educating students about how other's may be different would be preferred.

 @9JHYPPSanswered…3mos3MO

No, there is too much risk of mandatory diversity training suppressing freedom of thought and speech, as well as legitimate concerns.

 @9HP6CX2Greenanswered…4mos4MO

We should be educated on all beliefs and open mindedness from a young age, if our country accepts workers from other countries it's important to educate ourselves

 @99MC48Fanswered…1yr1Y

 @99LZQ6Lanswered…1yr1Y

Diversity and feminism should be banned it's pointless and overshadows actual problems of society such as the greed of capitalism. Students should be taught about how bad capitalism is instead

 @99LZPLVanswered…1yr1Y

Feminism and woke culture doesn't matter and is pointless social justice is a waste of time
