Hello, I'm Joseph Seaton, a teacher, trainer & project manager. I worked at British Council Afghanistan for 4 years from 2016 - 2020, as Deputy Director, Senior Project Manager & English Manager.
​
During my time in Kabul, I trained, managed and worked alongside the teachers who have been forgotten in Afghanistan.
​
I witnessed at first hand their commitment, passion and determination, in the face of very real challenges.
I have since witnessed the way the BC and the UK Government have treated these teachers, and am very disappointed.
​
While I am a great admirer of the work the BC do around the world, I feel they have failed this cohort of teachers, and I believe they need to do much more to resolve the situation.
​
I am a strong believer in the importance of teachers, and also in the fact that organisations need to value their teachers, and treat them with the respect and humanity they deserve.
​
I'm urging the British Council to continue to put pressure on the UK Government to ensure this cohort of At Risk Teachers gets ARAP approval, and the fair treatment they deserve.
​
It's not too late for the BC to recognize their short comings and increase their efforts to resolve this issue.
