MISK ALI SHARIF
Curriculum Manager - Computing | Computing Technologies PGC
Silver (2020) - FE Lecturer of the Year
Recognised for Things Done for Society
Appeared in The Guardian Newspaper (100 Stories, 100 Teachers, 100 Ways to Shape Lives)
"My name is Misk Ali Sharif, and I look after the IT Department in The City of Westminster College. My role and title is 'The Curriculum Manager'. I'm responsible for students aged 16 to 18 and over the age of 19. I used to be a student here a long time ago and my journey started with Level 2 and Level 3. Unfortunately, I didn't have the proper qualification, if I'm being honest, as I left school with only 1 GCSE. But this college gave me the opportunity to really bring my skills out. I completed Level 2, Level 3, a degree in University, applied as a teacher, and now I'm in the process of completing my Master's in Special Education Needs and Disability. I also earned an award back in 2020, Silver in FE Lecturer of the Year, where I was the only female, only Muslim, and only person in the whole of UK to get that award. I love learning about technology, teaching website and app developments, and education. Whenever I meet a student with a difficult past, I like to make a change in society by helping them bring out their max potentials.
