Ethnically Diverse Education Achievement Service (EDEAS)

** NEW **

EMTAS has changed its name to EDEAS.
EDEAS stands for Ethnically Diverse Education Achievement Service.

The phrase ethnic minority in our title is often an unhelpful way of identifying ethnically diverse children.  We understand that Travelers are an ethnically diverse group and our aim with our new title is to be more inclusive and outline our role.

 

We are a dedicated, multi-ethnic and multilingual team, with over 20 years' experience of working closely with Devon schools to remove barriers and inequalities in attainment and achievement. By working alongside you, we can help your school to improve educational outcomes for children and young people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic and Traveller heritages, as well as those learning English as an additional language (EAL). We provide expert advice, guidance and training to help raise attainment and close the performance gap for these children and young people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic and Traveller groups. Our approach is flexible and responsive, giving you the right level of support when you need it.
