The national EIS BAME Network was established to provide opportunities for Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic members to come together and share experiences.
This Network is a space for BAME teaching professionals across Scotland to make connections and host discussions, whilst also providing specific training opportunities to address the prevailing barriers that exist for BAME teachers, and to grow your Union leadership skills.
