On Wednesday evening, we were pleased to host the Education Public Meeting in partnership with BRIG and DEEP, bringing together community members, educators and local voices to discuss the challenges and inequalities facing young people across Birmingham.
The discussion explored issues within Birmingham's education system and their impact on young people, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds and White working-class boys. It provided an opportunity to share perspectives, learn from one another and consider how we can work together towards positive change.
Contributing to the discussion were our CEO, Rawaad Mahyub, our Head of Education and Training, Huda Ali, and two of our fantastic young people, Saeed and Maysa, whose voices and experiences were an important part of the discussion.
A huge thank you to BRIG, DEEP, Professor Tahir Abbas and everyone who joined us and contributed to the evening.
We believe meaningful change begins with listening to our communities, especially the young people whose futures are directly shaped by the education system. 🤝
