MERIT PROJECT
MERIT is a project which aims to:
- Raise awareness of the opportunities available to BME students to enter Initial Teacher Education (ITE)
- Raise awareness of the ITE courses available locally
- Provide support mechanisms to guide BME students in the application and interview process for ITE.
We are a partnership between Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland Universities and Gateshead, North Tyneside and High Force SCITTs, together with Gateshead Ethnic Minority Achievement Service.
Sheba Joseph is the MERIT advisor and she is based at Dryden Professional Development Centre in Gateshead.
