Policies and Racism

The NSW Government rejects all forms of racism. It is committed to elimination of racial discrimination and racial harassment in its organisation, structure, culture, and in the learning and working environments for which it is responsible. No student, employee, or community member should experience racism, it is the shared responsibility of the Department of education and training to ensure that the community members are safe from racism. Despite of having such policies people today experience racism in terms of education and employment.

"As defined by the United Nations, the Culture of peace is a set of values, attitudes,modes of behaviour and ways of life that reject violence and prevent conflicts by tackling their root causes to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation among individuals, groups and nation."

Adaptation of the culture of peace will help us reduce racism in our society as it :
-promotes social and economic development
-ensures equality
-provides international security and peace
-fosters democratic participation
