Nadia, who joined us in 2013, leads on many projects contributing important evidence for education policy in England, Pakistan and India. Nadia’s work extends to several hundred research publications, including four books, with areas of research including the impact of poverty on children’s access to school, learning and social emotional developments. 

The UPSIGN charity works globally to promote mentoring, supporting and educating UK-based British Pakistanis (and Pakistanis) and highlighting their work in education and academia.

The Fellowship of the Academy of Social Sciences recognises Nadia’s excellence in her field, and her wider contributions to the social sciences for public benefit.

Nadia said:

I was delighted to be featured in the UPSIGN list of 75 Notable Pakistani Academics, Teachers and Trainers across all fields, and honoured to be awarded Fellowship of the Academy of Social Sciences. These are not only valuable recognition of my research and impact, but also global recognition and acknowledgement of our Evidence Centre for Education’s excellence in research for education.

Congratulations Nadia on your achievement!
