In part fifteen, Project Manager and Master of Arts (Education) Mona Eid discusses the Finnish school system and structural racism within it. Eid studies the school system as a part of the society, not as a separate unit. The equality-related goals and values included in the national core curriculum are not always implemented in individual schools. School textbooks convey an ethnocentric and Western-oriented world view, and the ideal students are selected based on the white standard. Discriminatory bullying and racialising guidance take place in schools. Not belonging to a group can cause minority stress. Eid proposes that bold and dialogic teachership could be one tool for achieving an anti-racist school environment.
