In the UK, the media’s persistent focus on finding anything and everything problematic with Islam or Muslims has, to some extent, entered the subconscious of many parts of British society. Sober thinking parts of the academia and intelligentsia are now getting quite perturbed about it.

  • 24Th Mayor's Report
    London Assembly MQT – 13 October 2010 Twenty-fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly This is my twenty-fourth report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period 2 to 29 September. Executive Summary Mayoral Academies On 23 September, alongside my Advisor on Health and Youth Opportunities, Pamela Chesters, I officially opened the Nightingale and Aylward Academies in Enfield, the first to be opened under my Academies Programme. The Sponsors, the London Academies Enterprise Trust, jointly formed by Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) and the Mayor’s Academies Ltd, took over the running of the Academies from 1 September 2010. Working with AET, we will continue to prioritise our energies and resources into gaining the confidence and support of local parents and students, now the academies are open. My academies aim to boost education results in schools which have underachieved historically, and raise the students' aspirations so they are confident they can go on in life to fulfil their best. Academy students will have a range of choices from age 16 to continue in full-time education, enter work- based learning, such as an apprenticeship, or part time training, alongside working or volunteering. The partnership between the London Development Agency and the Academies Education Trust will also ensure their academies are centres of learning that serve their communities and improve local adult skills. I hope to invest in a number of other academies across London to provide more opportunities for young people. The Aylward Academy will cater for 1,275 students in years 7-11, with a further 200 places for 6th form students.
