The new 'Social Compact': How Higher Education’s role in social mobility and social purpose can shape Britain’s future success
In this special guest lecture, Rt Hon Justine Greening will discuss the crucial role of higher education in breaking down barriers to opportunity for those who come from the most disadvantaged backgrounds. She will discuss the now vital need for a shared long-term vision between higher education, the government and local communities in higher education to ensure Britain's future success. Justine will also consider the impact of social mobility on the UK's future prosperity and how universities can work in partnership with communities, the public sector and private industry to be a force for social good.
The Rt Hon Justine Greening is Chair of the Purpose Coalition. During her time in government, Justine was the first Secretary of State for Education to attend a comprehensive school, Minister for Women and Equalities, Secretary of State for International Development, Secretary of State for Transport and Economic Secretary to the Treasury.
