Yesterday, Queen Mary University of London welcomed a delegation of Members of Parliament from the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (Turkish Parliament/TBMM), as part of a UK fact-finding programme on equality, inclusion, accessibility and non-discrimination in higher education.
The visit was chaired by Professor Colin Bailey, who shared the University's approach to social mobility, widening participation, diversity and inclusion, as well as the role of higher education in driving positive social change.
The Turkish delegation was particularly interested in Queen Mary's work to remove barriers to participation and ensure all students can thrive. Discussions focused on creating inclusive learning environments, supporting students from diverse backgrounds and improving accessibility across higher education.
