MA CHARACTER EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM

'My former headteacher once said, “My hope is that you enter our doors in Y7 as children, and after 5 years of schooling, enrichment opportunities, and achieving the best you can, leave as good young adults.”

I have been fortunate to work with hundreds of young people from diverse backgrounds, helping to transform lives. The Aziz Foundation has enabled me to pursue an MA in Character Education, equipping me with the expertise to support the development of the ‘whole child’.

Echoing my former headteacher’s sentiment, I strive to be the educational figure I needed growing up. This MA brings me fulfilment, knowing it better equips me to prepare future generations to become principled, contributing members of society—but above all, good people.'
