Ep24: Equity & Justice: A New Paradigm in Education

In this months Leading your international school podcast Barry Cooper is joined by Kausor Amin-Ali, Principal of Frontline International School in Ajman. Join as they discuss:

Equity and Justice in International Education. 🌍

In the podcast, Kausor:

• Emphasises the need to move beyond broad DEI initiatives to focus on equitable representation, particularly in leadership roles.

• Highlights the underrepresentation of ethnic minorities in headship positions, especially in the UK, and suggest this may be attributed to cultural preferences and biases in hiring.

• Discusses the importance of intentional planning, cultural awareness, and community engagement to foster inclusivity.

• Advocates for schools to create a welcoming environment where diverse cultural practices are respected and celebrated, and encourages teachers to actively engage with and learn from the local community.

In his free time, he enjoys studying History, Cycling, Football (goalkeeping), travelling with his wife and son and enjoys being a Father.
