Speaking following his election, Raf said:

“I am honoured to have been elected Vice Chair of English UK London and grateful for the trust placed in me by the Committee. I remain passionate about international education, English language teaching, and promoting London as one of the world’s leading destinations to study English.

Having been an international student myself, I understand the transformative impact that studying abroad can have on a person’s life and future opportunities. I look forward to continuing to work with the Committee, our members, and our partners to ensure that English UK London remains a strong, proactive, and supportive association that delivers real value for its members and helps champion our sector.”

As Vice Chair, Raf will work alongside the Chair, Tim Shoben (from Islington Centre for English) the Committee members, and the wider membership to support the Association’s strategic priorities, strengthen member engagement, and continue promoting London as a world-class destination for English language education.
