Dear all in GEM-land,
Although not strictly heritage-based I thought below may be of interest to some of you and wondered if you would mind forwarding to any relevant contacts that you have.
Many thanks and Best Wishes,
Jim Butler,
Academic Development Officer (Management) STEM
The Higher Education Academy

• have a high proportion (30% or more) of pupils from ethnic minority backgrounds
