The PIE stands in solidarity with the George Floyd movement and Black Lives Matter
“Within our own industry more can be done and we should all try to broaden access where we can”
The PIE stands with all activists advocating for change in light of the appallingly brutal murder of George Floyd in the USA.
Systems need to change – justice systems, education systems, arbitration systems, employment structures – to try and ensure greater equality and opportunity in our world.
International education can help achieve this although within our own industry, more can be done and we should all try to broaden access where we can.
The PIE is proud that Andrew Gordon of Diversity Abroad won our PIEoneer Award in 2019 for Outstanding Contribution to the industry and to support the #StudyAbroadStrong movement.
We need to be bold and unafraid to start dialogues around discrimination: how to be aware of it and then eliminate it.
We will endeavour to remember our responsibility to level up opportunities within the global education sector and ensure our news coverage shines a light on efforts to ensure equality, diversity and solidarity in our own industry.
