This school teacher who used to be a professional lawyer with a six-figure salary gave it all up so he could help young people in his neighborhood which is one of the poorest areas in England. Mouhssin Ismail left global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright lo become a teacher in his old inner city neighbourhood of Newham in 2009.
He is now in charge of Newham Collegiate Sixth Form, where in his first year of results 190 of the 200 east London students have been offered places at Russell Croup universities. Of those, nine have had offers from either Oxford or Cambridge —— and one has been given an unconditional offer to study at MIT in the US.
The sixth form college serves one of the poorest areas of the country.
Mr Ismail said, “I am extremely proud of what they have achieved. For many of these students the idea of going to Oxford or Cambridge or Bath, Manchester or Bristol would have been unimaginable two years ago. Now it is within touching distance.”
He owes the sixth form?s success to being able to offer students the same opportunities as they would get at top independent schools. These include work-experience placements in Abu Dhabi with top law firm White & Case LLP, weekly Oxbridge tutorials with graduates and contacts across many professions. Mr Ismail said, “We prepare our students the way they would prepared at top private schools. If pupils have on their resume a week-long work experience placement at White & Case, it is definitely going make them stand out when applying for jobs.”
He added, “They go to mock (模仿) interviews and visit Oxbridge colleges.”
The 38-year-old London School of Economics graduate said his decision to leave law came on the night when he was drafting a ￡50 million banking and finance deal.
He said, “After a couple of years, I felt unfulfilled. I didn?t think, ?that?s great, I have just done another ￡50 million deal,? I thought, ?am I making a contribution to society??” 24. Who does Mouhssin Ismail serve? A.Customers of Norton Rose Fulbright. B. Students from Oxford and Cambridge. C. Students from a poorest area of London. D. Professors from MIT in the US.
