How are the capital’s schools performing compared to those in other UK regions?

How does the performance of London’s young people measure up in comparison to those in other global cities?

The London Assembly’s Education Panel will tomorrow discuss the challenges facing the education sector to better prepare our young people to compete in a global labour market.

Munira Mirza, Deputy Mayor for Education and Culture will be questioned about the role of the Mayor in supporting schools, teachers and young people and how that role could develop over the next few years.
