On June 15th the Accord Coalition and University College London held a successful panel debate asking whether religion in education lead towards division or inspiration?
The event was held to mark the 140th anniversary of the University Tests Act 1871, which brought to end almost all religious discrimination in Universities in the UK. The speakers were myself, Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari (Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, 2006-2010), The Rt Hon Charles Clarke (Secretary of State for Education 2002-04) and Andrew Copson (Chef Executive of the British Humanist Association).
A recording of the debate is now available to watch online at:

Chair of the Accord Coalition
