MA SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EDUCATION, UCL IOE, FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND SOCIETY

Working as a Personal Development lead and primary school teacher based in East London, I have dedicated my career to making changes across the primary curriculum to create a more inclusive curriculum, whereby Muslim children can feel represented and develop a strong sense of belonging.

Over the last decade, I have also been volunteering with Islamic Relief and have taken part in a number of projects serving the most vulnerable members of the community both nationally and internationally.

By studying an MA in Social Justice and Education, I am looking for further ways to advocate for equal rights and opportunities to empower young British Muslims and confront discrimination within educational policies.
