Nisai Group to launch an inclusive education resource centre in Derry, Northern Ireland

The Nisai Group has collaborated with Inclusion Quality Mark Ltd (IQM) to open a new centre in Derry which will not only help to support learners both in the UK and overseas but also represent an investment in the wider Ulster area.

Nisai believe that everyone has equal value and should have access to high quality education, around the world.

The partnership will be recruiting for various positions from the local area including roles for teachers and internal support.

The focus of the new centre will be to support misunderstood and non-traditional learners to access a holistic learning experience.

Nisai support learning barriers through innovative education that is accessible and affordable and the centre in Derry will be instrumental in supporting the overseas and UK markets.

The opening of the new centre in Derry is a natural progression of the joint organisations in the pursuit of inclusive education.

Dhruv Patel, CEO of Nisai said:

“We are very excited to open up the education resources centre in Derry and recognise the amount of skills and talented professionals we will be working with. Together, we will strive to create opportunities for all in a world without learning barriers.”

Inclusion Quality Mark Ltd (IQM) was established in the U.K in October 2004 with the objective of supporting both state and independent schools to become truly inclusive.

The IQM team aspire to be at the forefront of developments to ensure the inclusive education of all young people. IQM believe that for future generations to be able to live in harmony, we all have a responsibility to ensure that we provide an inclusive start for all. This not only begins in the home but in all of our educational establishments.

Joe McCann, CEO of IQM commented:

“We are pleased to announce that one of our major partners in the UK has chosen to open a Northern Ireland Resource Centre in Derry, bringing much needed employment opportunities to the area. Nisai Virtual Academy in Stockton-On-Tees has held the IQM Inclusive School Award since 2015 and Nisai’s Lammas School is being assessed for the IQM award this summer. It has been a privilege to share the wealth of experience and opportunities which exist here in the North West with Nisai, and we wish them all the best in this venture!”

Currently more than 5,500 schools in the UK have, or are actively working towards, achieving the Inclusion Quality Mark Award. The success of the standard has meant the adoption of the process not only in the UK but has also led to approaches from overseas.
