The Education officer, Community and welfare officer and Anti-racism officer will be presenting research on the attainment gap between BME and White students at LSE and the disparity between international and domestic students in academic achievement. Who is at fault for the obvious difference in grades? Whether you think it’s the curriculum, lecturers teaching style, general LSE culture or institutionalised societal racism, come and share your views on the issues you’ve faced.
