The work of the Educators Forum is a real local success story. From the time I first met Nese, the chair, and her colleagues at the Educators Forum I was impressed by their professionalism, drive and commitment to improving education for local Turkish and Kurdish speaking communities.
During their short time based at HCVS I was constantly reminded of their passion for getting the network to a higher level.
I was so pleased when you secured premises for the Forum.
You make me proud to be part of the voluntary and community sector and are a living example of how to mobilize people and local teaching practitioners for a common good.
May I wish you all every success in the future and please keep sending me good news.
All the best,
Jake Ferguson ,
Chief Executive Officer, HCVS (Hackney Council for Voluntary Services)
I would like to first of all thank thank you very much for your most recent correspondence and to congratulate you for your program and your efforts to create a more just and fair community providing an educational forum where students, educator as well as parents can learn and develop their potential therefore increase their skills and abilities that they can then use in any aspect of life. The importance of your programme is immense and it has as you have mentioned strong benefits both in social and economic terms not only for the people involved but for the wider community.

This work is absolutely vital for those Turkish and Kurdish children who are struggling so hard in our schools to do well but who are clearly facing huge barriers to success. I congratulate the Educators Forum on their work helping these children succeed.
Lynne Featherstone MP

I warmly congratulate the Educators Forum in its efforts to provide voluntary support and assistance to school pupils and students in my constituency and in north London. The Educators Forum is a vital organisation helping to boost the potential and the achievements of students from ethnic minority backgrounds, and I very much hope they continue their good work.
With all best wishes,

The website looks great and I think it touches on some very important issues.
Having worked as a Counsellor at the Turkish Youth Association in Haringey for 6 years (in the 1990s) and having been involved in the Turkish Education Group during the 1980s, I agree that the reasons why many of our young people do not achieve their full potential is complex and varied. These include lack of understanding and connection with the UK Education system by some families, lack of cultural understanding within the UK Education system of our communities, lack of support and funding for supplementary education such as Saturday schools or Homework Clubs. It is also to do with low self-esteem within the young people and the communities as a whole.
In my work as a Counsellor, I have found that Turkish/Kurdish-speaking young people share the issue of low self-esteem with many other “minority” communities and this leads to a feeling of not being good enough. This then leads to lack of motivation, lack of belief in themselves and their potential and, sometimes, “rebellion”.
I hope the Educators Forum succeeds in continuing to raise the issue of many of our young people failing in the Education system and takes the issues forward as nothing much has improved since the Swan Report in the 1970s which found that Turkish-speaking children/young people were the lowest achievers in the UK Education system then. Since then, there have been some improvements thanks to the efforts of people within our communities but not enough.
Best wishes
