• In 2016 only three Black students were admitted to train as History teachers

• Official statistics indicate that History is the third most unpopular subject among Black undergraduates

• During 2012/13 there were 1340 Black undergraduates studying History, 1.8% of the total

• In 2016 it was estimated that there were less than 10 Black PhD students studying History in the country
