Hostinformation

African Caribbean Education Network

27 followers

The African Caribbean Education Network (ACEN) is a national network of Black parents, students, teachers, and professionals seeking to improve experiences and access to top educational institutions and workplaces for Black students. In the past, our focus has solely been on independent & grammar schools, however, with racial equity (via systematic change) at the heart of what we do, we are expanding our focus to include all top academic institutions, as these are the spaces where Black students are typically underrepresented. As you know, this then perpetuates underrepresentation in top universities, and then the workplace, which subsequently impacts the various structural deficits faced by the Black community.
