Past and present pupils from various Cape high schools opened up about discrimination experienced at the hands of staff and fellow pupils, with learners protesting at Bishops Diocesan College. CapeTimesSA

Cape Town – Despite the growing anger and outrage after more than 20 former Model C schools in Cape Town were implicated in claimed racism and discrimination by pupils, the Western Cape Education Department says there has been a decrease in the number of incidents of prejudice reported to it recently, and progress toward embracing diversity was being made.

“It’s like casual racism is a part of Bishop’s conversation,” a pupil said, while another said a learner who made racial slurs on a camp was punished by being made to skip a class and clean a braai stand. “We urge all of our learners to formally report any incidents of this nature, as it is difficult to act on anonymous social media claims. We will address any incidents."

“This will be an ideal opportunity to continue the engagement with all members of our community regarding these issues in our school. We are committed to making Bishops a welcoming environment for all who learn and work here, irrespective of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.”
