Statistics show that teaching as a profession is overwhelmingly white and female. After winning the BBC Young Reporter competition, I worked with BBC News to look at why there's such a lack of diversity in teaching, and what it means for pupils like me.
I'm 14, and have moved around a bit - I was born in London but now I live in Manchester, two very diverse cities. This means I've been to a few different schools already.
Despite this, I went through all of primary school without ever having a non-white teacher.
I'm black - my parents are both originally from Ghana - but I don't really see myself represented in the people who teach me.
