The NUT Black Teachers' Conference is an annual event that allows black and minority ethnic members to discuss and address issues of equality, education, and the workplace. The Black Teachers' Conference is empowered to submit one motion, selected by majority vote, to NUT Annual Conference. Associations, divisions, individual NUT members attending as delegates, and the National Executive can submit motions to the Black Teachers' Conference. City of Leicester NUT will support your attendance at the conferences, subject to meeting the local application process. You can self fund a place to attend the conferences.
