(C) Education Lecture

It is proposed that the City of London Corporation host a reception and dinner at Guildhall following an address on education policy to be given by the Secretary of State for Education on Tuesday 23 February 2016.

This event would provide an opportunity for the City to highlight its commitment to education, and to bring together key policy makers from business and educational institutions. It will offer a valuable opportunity to build contacts across the range of educational organisations supported by the City. The guest list would include leading figures from business and education, and representatives from Livery Companies, national educational organisations and the media.

We recommend that appropriate hospitality be granted and that arrangements be made under the auspices of the Education Board; the cost to be met from City’s Cash within the approved cost parameters and with a contribution from the Worshipful Company of Educators.

This would be a Committee event.
