The Global Majority Educators’ Toolkit is a vital resource designed to support educators and further explore how we can enhance racial diversity and equity within the education system. As the global education landscape becomes increasingly diverse, it is essential that the experiences, voices, and expertise of educators from the global majority—those belonging to non-white, indigenous, and racially minoritized groups—are amplified and valued. This toolkit aims to foster inclusive, equitable education by addressing the challenges faced by educators and students from these communities whilst exploring how we can bring about better representation too.

The need for this toolkit is urgent. Educators from the global majority often face systemic barriers, including institutional racism, implicit bias, and limited access to leadership roles. These barriers not only limit their professional growth but also have a compounding negative impact on students by perpetuating a one-dimensional, often exclusionary, curriculum and learning environment. This toolkit equips educators with practical tools, strategies, and insights to navigate the unique challenges they face, and provides solutions on how to support Global Majority educators while fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments for all students.

This toolkit is grounded in principles of empowerment, cultural competency, diversifying and decolonising, educational practices, and culturally responsive pedagogy, with an aim to dismantle Eurocentric biases in education and champion the rich cultural diversity that shapes classrooms today. Whether you are looking to diversify your curriculum, address systemic inequities, or build a supportive community, this Global Majority Educators’ Toolkit provides the resources to help you lead transformative change. Together, we can create education systems that reflect and respect the global majority’s perspectives, ensuring that all voices are heard, respected, and celebrated.

The impact of this toolkit undoubtedly should be far-reaching. By equipping educators with these essential tools, it aims to continue the journey in creating more inclusive and equitable learning environments where all students feel seen, valued, and respected. When educators from the global majority are empowered to bring their full selves into their professional roles, they serve as powerful role models and agents of change, inspiring the next generation to engage with the world in a more just and compassionate way. Ultimately, this toolkit is a step toward creating education systems that not only reflect the realities of our diverse world but actively work to uplift and celebrate the contributions of the global majority. Through this work, we can cultivate learning environments where every educator and student can thrive.
