It is a key priority of the National Education Union's NUT Section to ensure that its Black teachers have a voice in the Union, in the classroom, and in broader society, and do not face barriers to promotion, representation or participation. We support teachers and pupils to eliminate attitudes which generate racism and discrimination across all areas of school life including policies and procedures, curriculum and the training opportunities that schools offer their employees.
The 2017 BTC is in Birmingham and will be the biggest ever. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to join us. Apply now to avoid disappointment. Phyll Opoku-Gyimah has confirmed as a keynote speaker and there will be at least eight interactive workshops to choose from as well as opportunities for networking and regional discussion groups. The theme this year is Succeeding in Unity: Working Together, Living Together.
The NUT Black Teachers' Conference is an annual event that allows the Union’s Black members to discuss and address issues of race equality, education, and the workplace. The Conference plays an integral role in ensuring that the Union’s work is in the interest of its Black members and all Black teachers. Click here for a report on 2015 conference. In Derby we would like to increase the involvement of more of our BAME members in the life of the union and build on and improve our equalities work in all aspects. If you would like to be a delegate to the Black Teachers Conference 2017 for Derby, we want to hear from you - please fill out the form on the website and we will be in touch!
