Why I Am Running:
I believe that education is about transformation, had it not been for educa-tion I do not know where I would be right now. I believe that everyone has
potential. I want to ensure that everyone regardless of who they are or where
they come from are given access to a fair free and equal education that allows
them to achieve their full potential. I absolutely love education. It has taught
me how to believe in myself, but more importantly how to believe in others.
My Experience on Education:
I have been the VP of Edinburghs Telford College SU and Edinburgh
College, during this time I have been successful at preventing the
displacement of hundreds of students. I have also ensured the student associ-
ation was embedded and partnered within the college quality framework and
fought to get anonymous marking introduced a first for Edinburgh College.
I have been fighting against course reductions and as a result have managed
to save many of the courses that were being scrapped. I have also challenged
the cabinet secretary, SFC and Education Scotland on the impacts of
regionalisation and cuts to colleges asking them to rethink their current
strategy.
I have campaigned for English to be free and part of the curriculum for all
speakers of other languages. As an NUS FE committee member I have
campaigned for an independent complaints ombudsman. I opposed unfair
and exploitative traineeships. I have also put policy forward to ensure that
students are at the centre of their own learning.
