Shabnum has recently completed her GCSE Biology and Level 2 maths courses.
Shabnum first came to BAES when was studying on a Childhood Studies University course and needed to achieve Level 2 maths and GCSE Biology. These studies though, like many others, were disrupted and complicated by Covid-19 and lockdowns.
The shift to online learning alongside significant personal issues may have been enough to cause other learners to quit or put their studies on hold. Shabnum though has shown determination, resilience and retained full focus on completing her degree and remaining on her BAES courses.
Her goal is to return to working as a teaching assistant in a school as soon as possible. Eventually she would like to complete a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) and start working as a primary school teacher.
