A group calling for the provision of better education for black children is due to deliver a petition to 10 Downing Street.
The "Tell it like it is" campaign has devised a six-point charter to hand over to the government.
The charter calls for:
# needs-led funding for schools
# an end to the "disproportionate" exclusion rate for black pupils
# anti-racism training for current and prospective teachers and a strategy for increasing the number of teachers from minority groups
# an enriching curriculum reflecting the backgrounds of all pupils
# well-resourced comprehensive schools and colleges
# full implementation of the recommendations of the Stephen Lawrence report.
