Other Initiatives

A number of other places have enquired about the Learning City concept. These include Colchester, Chelmsford, Kings Lynn, Leicester and Slough.

Others have adopted the idea without necessarily using the term "Learning City" In Wolverhampton and Batley collaborative partnerships of the kind described in many cities seem to be developing. Gloucester, York and Durham are all actively discussing strategies of this kind.

The concept of the "Learning County" is also arousing interest following the publication of "Kent Learning". Suffolk in particular is pursuing this agenda.
