School Governors Matter – Be A Governor!

Presenter: Tahir Alam - Education Spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, Training Director at Al-Hijrah Training Academy, Specialist in School Governance.

There are nearly 500,000 British Muslim children in full-time state school education. The challenges that face Muslim pupils in terms of academic attainment and how their spiritual, and religious needs are being met should be a source of concern for all of us.

As part of a national programme and strategy, The Association of Muslim Governors (AMG) have organised a series of seminars with the aim of bringing about real change through greater participation from the Muslim community in education. Through presentations, discussions, and workshops, this seminar will explore:

- The vision for Muslim education
- School education framework
- School governance - roles and responsibility
- Why Muslims must be involved

Following from the first seminar held in Birmingham, the venues below are scheduled:
