Welcome to the BAMEed Network
Help us work towards an education sector that is reflective of society.
We are a grassroots network aimed at ensuring our diverse communities are represented as a substantive part of the education workforce for teachers and leaders in education. We seek to address the inequities in the recruitment of Black, Asian and minority ethnic colleagues into the teaching profession and the lack of support to ensure progress in those careers.
We connect with other education organisations and individuals through events, regional networks across the UK, signposting and mentoring support. Join us on this journey to drive change in education.
Our regional and special interest BAMEed networks work within areas of the UK and education to meet local needs, provide opportunities to connect, and enact change.
