Towards a new educational paradigm
How it started
Educationalists including teachers, psychologists, management consultants and community activists have been meeting regularly since late 2005 looking at the challenges faced by the black community in education. The meetings began by discussing the wider issues that are adversely affecting and effecting the youth and children of today - these included the following:
Black-on-black crime
drug and substance abuse
teenage pregnancy
mental health issues
business & employment opportunities
racial discrimination
immigration matters
education
It was agreed that all the issues in some manner were related to the last, education. It was also agreed that as educationalists, our contribution towards solving the wider issues should start with us “working” the areas in education where we dwell - the added caveat being “working in a unified and organised fashion”. Those invited to the initial meetings included those in independent education, management consultancy, street outreach programmes, political and spiritual organisations, teachers working in the mainstream, historians, students and parents.
