In this latest talk we ask if social mobility in the UK is being held back by the education system, family aspirations, or prejudice? Or is it the vested interests of the middle and upper classes?
On the panel is Brenda King, chief executive of AC Diversity, an organisation dedicated to the advancement of African and Caribbean students; Professor Diane Reay, from the department of education at the University of Cambridge; Joe Baden, manager of the Open Book project at Goldsmiths, University of London; and Anastasia de Waal, head of family and education at think-tank Civitas. The chairman is Mike Younger of the faculty of education at Cambridge.
