Decade of Diversity

Decade of Diversity

We are delighted to be partnering with Inclusion Labs, on the Decade of Diversity campaign, as a values-aligned organisation committed to the leadership of diversity, equity and inclusion strategies to create sustained impact through systemic, structural and social change.

We will continue to raise awareness and consciousness across our growing community of diverse educators and their allies through our collective pledges to contribute to the diversification of the curriculum through literature and the diversification of the workforce through governance. Increased representation and visibility of diverse people and diverse narratives will create a greater sense of belonging for people from different stakeholder groups who are currently being marginalised by the education system and wider society.

We want all educators to celebrate diversity in a deep and meaningful way. By working together we will go further in our collective endeavours and shared vision.
