Level Playing Field

For too long the UK has been dominated by who you know, not who you are - with talented youngsters missing out.

We don't believe it has to be that way.

[Level Playing Field @LPF_UK]

@dylanwiliam especially in the UK, there is a lack of aspiration

[Level Playing Field @LPF_UK]

@CBItweets So right. Business leaders also need to help raise aspiration levels in our poorest schools. That's what we work to do at LPF

@Edudemic those are some good suggestions. More focus on emotional intelligence, leadership and teamwork are also key to modern business

[Level Playing Field @LPF_UK]

@ScholarshipEd Including some good emotional intelligence and self-awareness too!
