Welcome to EMAS UK
What is EMAS UK ?
EMAS UK is a membership organisation that supports schools and teachers to deliver quality education to pupils that do not have English as their first language. We are currently supporting over 100,000 children and over 10,000 teachers in UK schools.
The name EMAS UK is a blend of two Malay words, EMAS which means ‘Gold’ or ‘Golden’ and Masuk which means ‘in’ or ‘Welcome’, together they represent the Golden Welcome that we want to give every child when they first come into our schools.
At EMAS UK we believe in people and pedagogy, we don’t tell people what to do or how to teach but we do support them to do both through quality bi-lingual resources, guidance and digital tools that encourage personalised learning and communication with students without having a translator in the classroom at all times.
