London Schools Conference III: Reaching for the stars

By Ligali Media Network | Thu 29 July 2004

September 11th has been chosen as the day for us all to come together and attend the Mayor of London and Diane Abbott's third London Schools 'Reaching for the stars' Conference, being held at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Westminster.


This year's conference will report on the achievements made tackling the issue of continuing inequality in the educational attainment of African British pupils. The aim is to ensure this issue stays on the agenda. It will also offer the opportunity to celebrate the achievements of those working in education to address this catastrophe and seek to inspire others to make their own personal contribution. Dianne Abbott gives a related interview in the Summer 2004 edition of the Nex Generation magazine.



The conference will be opened by the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone. Speakers will include Diane Abbott MP; Department for Education and Skills Minister Stephen Twigg MP; Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality, and special guest speakers from education and the media.
