Role: Associate
Education is very dear to me, the right level of education surpasses achieving a good grade or getting access to study in renowned universities, or achieving your dream job. Education shapes a person’s outlook about life and plays a vital role in creating lucrative members of the society. Therefore it is incumbent on school authorities to ensure that the right strategy and policies are designed for our future leaders. As a young trainee accountant in my local council –Hackney, I feel a sense of responsibility to use my modest expertise to contribute to the lives of young people by helping to address topics surrounding educational inequality and social mobility. As the only young black man in my team, there’s a notable lack of diversity. I would like to use my career and background to inspire and serve as a role model to the students, something I didn’t get it growing up but believe is very crucial to have. In return, this will help me stay informed about the changing policies and strategies and build my knowledge in the educational sector and also network with like-minded people.
