Education is to my mind the best opportunity to create social mobility and to improve society for the better. Today we heard about the impact education has had on young people changing lives for the better.
The city has now launched an Education Strategy for 2024-2029. You can read more about it here -

Our Vision for education is based on the fact
we believe all learners – especially those facing the most challenge – should have access to an education which helps them to achieve their best.
We define this as the development of academic excellence, cultural knowledge, work-readiness, and a lifelong love of learning. Our education lead describes it as: ‘Helping learners to flourish in a rapidly changing world by championing outstanding education, encouraging lifelong learning and driving increased social mobility’.
