| NET Ambassadors Programme
The NET Ambassadors programme is a network of former interns and staff. The programme recognizes formally the links which former colleagues retain with NET, and promotes networking between former and current staff. NET Ambassadors represent NET at events, spread the word about our work home and abroad, and act as a sounding-board for development ideas. The programme is part of NET's core view that best and innovative practice should be championed and shared, from the classroom to Whitehall. Please see below the names and profiles of NET Ambassadors. Please contact the NET office on for further details about the programme. Current NET Ambassadors  Ruth BarberRuth was an intern with NET for three months, and enjoyed working on policy debates, the website and publications for the 6s and 7s Programme. She graduated from Exeter College, Oxford with a degree in Economics and Management and is now teaching in a secondary school near London. She enjoys rowing and is keen to get young people involved in the sport! Lucy Crehan Lucy studied Philosophy and Psychology at Oxford before interning with NET in 2009. She helped design the new website and wrote a paper on teacher training, and really enjoyed it! She then spent two years completing the Teach First programme at a school in Feltham. This year she is continuing to teach on a part-time basis while starting a Masters at Cambridge in Politics, Development and Democracy in Education. She is also a contributing author for Policy First - a policy document and movement by Teach First Ambassadors. Vicky Clayton Vicky was an intern for NET in the summer of 2011 and is currently reading Human Sciences at New College, Oxford.

Sophie Hulse I am currently a part-time Postgraduate student, studying for a research Masters in Human Rights at the University of Manchester. I interned at NET in the summer of 2010 with Amisha Modi. My time at NET showed me how much I enjoy research in a professional setting- I had never before considered research outside of my undergraduate degree. I hope to ultimately work in the field of policy scrutiny, ideally in the field of International Aid or Aid Agencies. I aim to specialise in the role of education in developing countries, as well as famine and famine relief in the Horn of Africa, more specifically Somalia. Amisha Modi Amisha Modi has served as an intern at the National Education Trust and, for six months, with our Indian partners Adhyayan in Mumbai, having previously worked with a Westminster-based political consultancy. She has recently started her MSc Public Policy and Administration at the London School of Economics, to further her theoretical understanding of public service management. Her research interests include the quality and distribution of public services, and the impact of Public-Private Partnerships. Will Power Will worked with Spokey Wheeler on a schools project in India for an organisation called Krishi Gram Vikas Kendra, which is linked to NET. He is currently advising Adhyayan as an associate as well as currently teaching in a Primary school in London.
