HELPING OUR COMMUNITIES REACH FOR NEW HEIGHTS

Welcome to the NIEC -  Organisations and individuals coming together to address, through discussion and constructive action, the educational challenges faced by black and ethnic minority children and adults. The group works towards empowering students, parents, teachers and other professionals in the sphere of education with practical educational resources to achieve their objectives.
