The Education Society (EHU Ed Soc) provides you with an opportunity to attend high quality training events that are of interest to you, supports your professional development, and helps you with future employment opportunities.

The National Education Union (NEU) funds the society by paying for the event speakers who charge fees to deliver their training and has been a brilliant support for the society, helping many society members’ knowledge and understanding of crucial educational campaigns grow further. Let’s hear what the president of the society has to say.

At EHU Ed Soc, you can:

• meet like-minded individuals who are also passionate about education and providing the best for children in the future.

• understand more about the work that the NEU does, providing opportunities to look into becoming an NEU representative.

• get to know others interested in education and develop purposeful working relationships that can help support your professional and personal development.

• discuss opportunities on key education topics and seek advice and support through the society’s own Twitter and Facebook pages (and its own group chat).
