THE #1 CHOICE FOR DAMES & SIRS
Introducing
Project
Dame & Knight
We’re nominating every educator we can to be damed & knighted
The facts
Your contribution
Educators contribute up to billions in unpaid overtime – each year.
Your sacrifices
Educators work the longest hours in the world, averaging over 12 hours per day.
Your results
Educators feel chronically overworked and consistently undervalued.
The truth
Your well-being
84% of educators feel overlooked and underappreciated.
Your burnout
Over half consider quitting.
Our loss
And up to 10% do quit – each year.
The consequences
There are over 350k brilliant, qualified educators doing something completely else. And those number are only going up. It’s time to show our educators how much we value them.
If you believe we can make a difference, help us spread the word and honour educators throughout the UK.
But maybe you don’t believe just yet. Maybe, facts alone aren’t enough. Maybe, you need more.
How about a knight’s duel?
We’re challenging the rich, famous, and powerful knights & dames of past and present to a good old-fashioned duel. We think if you flip the script, you’ll see that the work educators do easily wins the day.
But you can judge that for yourself.
The campaign
Inspiration
We work with brilliant, talented educators every day. So we see the challenges and frustrations they experience, feeling unvalued and overlooked. And we’re not OK with it.
So we’re doing something about it.
Permission
But before we did anything, we asked every educator who works with us for permission to nominate them. Humly’s a team. And we do things together.
Their overwhelming response floored us: 99.7% said yes.
The Work
You’ve seen too much already. Besides, we can’t give away everything we’re up to just yet, can we?
Nope.
Movement
But what we can say is this: we’re starting a conversation around how society views and values educators.
And we want it to be as loud as possible. But for that, we need you.
The campaign
You
We want you in this movement. Join our cause, share this petition, and add your voice to ours, supporting educators everywhere.
Who was the educator that changed your life?
We all have one, don’t we?
Someone who believed in you? Someone who helped you believe in you? Tell us about them. Let’s return the favour and honour them for helping you become all that you became.
We’re keeping a running tally of how many Dames & Knights we nominate in real time.
