This indicator measures the number of reported incidents of racism or xenophobia or any type of discrimination or related intolerance in school/educational institutions against students from specific groups during the last 12 months.
If the number of reported incidents is high, you should check whether it is because of a lack of appropriate legislation forbidding such incidents or whether it is because of the lack of enforcement of relevant legislation.
Specific groups include:
Children from Indigenous Peoples and Minority families.
Children from different racial, ethnic, caste and religious identities that are in disadvantaged positions.
Children from Migrants, Refugees, IDPs and Asylum seeker families.
