Ethnic and Cultural Diversity
Key London Issues > Ethnic and Cultural Diversity

..." London is quintessentially defined by its ethnic diversity, not only in comparison with the rest of the United Kingdom but also arguably amongst other world cities. Coping with changing identities, diversity and mobility is a key skill for London teachers and fundamental to the success of the capital’s schools."...  - Jan McKenley 

This is the way Jan McKenley defines Ethnic Diversity in London in the book Education in a Global City: Essays from London , edited by Tim Brighouse and Leisha Fullick.

Her chapter provides an insight into the key aspects of Ethnic Diversity in the Capital:

  • Trends of Immigration
  • Urban Education Policy and Education Reforms
  • The Impact of Immigration on London Schools
  • Differential Attainment
  • 21st Century Challenges for London

The book can be obtained from the IoE bookshop .
