Press Release: Afruika Bantu devoted most of her life organising for the liberation of African people, with a special emphasis on education and young people. On Saturday 11th September 2010 a keynote presentation entitled: 'How to get the most out of the education system' will be delivered by Cecil Gutzmore - author, historian, academic, community and human rights activist.
Diane Abbot's Education and the Black Child conferences with Ken Livingstone (Labour) and Boris Johnson (Conservative) have tried to sanitise the role of the state in our children's under-achievement. What impact has increasing privatisation of education - academies, 'community schools', plus more powers to teachers (stop and search in schools) had? More of our youth are in prison than in higher education - how can we reverse this trend?
On a positive note, after various tests, exams and graduations, come and celebrate the achievements of our youth in our own cultural way - African dancers, drumming, positive and dynamic cultural performers. Please contact the school if you want a young person who has achieved to be acknowledged by the community.
Also performance by ABSS * Black Parents' Forum * solidarity messages * cultural and educational stalls * registration to ABSS * refreshments available
Entrance donation - £3 waged £2 unwaged ABSS parents, volunteers & under 18s free
Sponsored and supported by APLO
