Burnley College Leads the Way in Inclusive Education

In this episode, we explore how Burnley College, the top college in England, has been selected as an OCR Ambassador School to promote inclusivity in English Literature education. As one of only 20 institutions nationwide, Burnley College is at the forefront of delivering OCR's new inclusive texts at A Level English Literature. The college will introduce new texts alongside existing ones and provide feedback to OCR to ensure the texts resonate with students. This initiative allows students to explore a broader range of voices and experiences in literature, reflecting modern lives and backgrounds. In recognition of their ambassadorship, Burnley College will receive a mini library of 300 copies each of high-quality books by authors of colour, donated by Lit in Colour, a joint campaign by Penguin Random House UK and The Runnymede Trust. While primarily an educational initiative, it reflects the broader trend of inclusivity and innovation important to the aerospace industry, preparing the next generation for a diverse and inclusive workforce.
