Dear Friends of Inclusive Education for the English School,
We have to thank you for the support you have expressed by signing the petition in support of human rights defenders and inclusive education for all in the English School
The campaign has been extremely successful in that it attracted around 800 signatures and with this backing the coordinating committee was able to meet with the English School Board, the Staff Association and the Parents Association. All these meetings were considered by the committee as very successful with particular reference to the Board meeting where the Board accepted the Chairman's statement that the school will continue without any hesitation its policy of inclusive education and its pursuit to building a multicultural environment at the school, implementing its policies in relation to these issues.
On the 15th October, 2009 the Parents Association is holding elections and this is an excellent opportunity for all parents with students at the English School to be there at 6:00 o'clock to support the candidates that are determined to work for inclusive education and a multicultural school and in this way further the cause that brought us together.
Thanking you once more we promise to keep you informed on developments and where necessary request once more your support.

The Provisional Committee
1. We condemn the incitement to racial hatred and the attempt to create an atmosphere of intimidation against human rights defenders in the school: racial discrimination, abuse and violence constitute gross violations of human rights. Racist practices are an affront to all that the ES stands for and have no place in the school.
2. We oppose attempts to misinform all concerned about the issues at stake as well as the use of any practice that aims to stifle the debate on the present and future of the school.
3. We express our commitment to the eradication of racism in the school and consider this essential to any attempt aiming at the prevention of violence.
4. We urge all in the ES to do their utmost to promote inclusive education for all, academic excellence, democratic citizenship within a multicultural spirit and an ethic of reconciliation.
5. We pledge to defend the intercultural ethos of the ES.
6. We call on all former students, anyone who holds dear the traditions of the ES and all democratically-minded persons to defend the spirit of democratic education, reconciliation and cooperation in the ES by signing this declaration.
