London residents least satisfied with schools, survey suggests
According to the European Commission survey, which examined the satisfaction levels regarding schools in a number of European cities, out of six major UK cities, residents in London were least satisfied.
The survey tested public views on the education system in London and found that just two-thirds of Londoners confirmed there were ‘very satisfied’ or 'rather satisfied’ with schools in the city. The figure compares with three quarters of residents in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, which was recently criticised by Ofsted for poor standards in secondary education.
The news suggests that although for many London is viewed to house some of the best schools, public opinion is yet to catch up. London came 48th in the league table of 79 European Union cities.
The ten cities with the lowest levels of satisfaction levels included: Vilnius; Budapest; Rome; Madrid; Athens; Bucharest; Sofia and Istanbul; with Palmero finishing last.
Groningen, in the Netherlands, and Renne, in France, finished top, both achieving 88 per cent of residents satisfied with their local educational provision.
