Amarjit Singh-Basi
Amarjit is an Executive and a founder member of the Black Leadership Group which was set up in late 2020 to address the challenges associated with systemic racism in Further Education. As part of this campaign the BLG has developed a ’10 Point Plan’ which outlines how college senior leadership teams and their boards can implement this plan as a ‘Toolkit’ for bringing about real and sustainable change across their institutions, to ensure an anti-racist Further Education system.
Over the course of his career Amarjit has held a number of senior leadership roles in Further Education/ Higher Education institutions, all operating in widening participation contexts. These include Principal & CEO posts at Cornwall College, New College Nottingham, Walsall College and Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College. A number of these institutions attained outstanding accreditations through public regulatory frameworks for further and higher education, alongside receiving Queen's Anniversary Prizes for innovation and quality in the provision of training and skills.
He also held Board membership roles with Pearson Education Limited (a subsidiary board of Pearson plc), Cogent (the talent and skills partner for the science industries) and Engineering UK (the national organisation responsible for the promotion of careers in engineering).
