Ethnic Diversity in Science

Author

  • Uchegbu, Ijeoma

Abstract

There is a clear deficit in our entire education system that results in ethnic minority pupils being less likely to graduate with a good degree; even though ethnic minority individuals are more likely to opt for a university education when compared to White pupils. Despite good participation in science and engineering disciplines within our universities by ethnic minorities, it is harder for ethnic minority researchers to obtain research funding. This needs to change if the UK is to produce research that benefits the entire population. A number of recommendations have been put forward.
