“In a year that moved education online, we have seen learning move into homes in an unprecedented way. This has highlighted both a need for skills but also an opportunity to encourage people of all ages to consider themselves learners again. The Learning City Network will play an important role as we regroup, redevelop and reimagine.”
Juliette Barber, Co-Chair St Cecilias' College
