Does education improve social mobility?

Do schools give everybody a fair start in life? Are some people left behind and others unfairly advantaged?

Part of the Cambridge Festival of Ideas, this event will run in the model of Question Time and will give people the chance to discuss how schools can reduce inequality and improve social mobility.

Our panel - chaired by Dr Julian Huppert, Director of the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College and former MP for Cambridge - will include:

• Anna Vignoles, Professor of Education and Fellow of Jesus College Cambridge
• David Laws, Director of the Education Policy Institute and former Schools Minister
• Rachel Snape, Head Teacher at the Spinney School in Cambridge and a National Leader of Education

Come along with some ideas of questions you would like to put to our panel in our new West Court Lecture Hall. This event will be filmed.
