Wey Education Plc to Sponsor the 2017 Jack Ashley Memorial Lecture

Wey Education PLC (LON:WEY), the AIM quoted educational services provider, which operates InterHigh and Infinity Education, the UK’s leading online independent secondary schools, is proud to announce it will sponsor the 2017 Jack Ashley Memorial Lecture, organised by Disability Rights UK. The lecture will be given by Professor Stephen Hawking on Wednesday 11 October 2017.

Wey Education is proud that, through its online schools, it has provided quality education to a very significant number of disabled children over the last 12 years including not only those with physical disabilities such as blindness, deafness or limited mobility but also those with conditions including diabetes, autism, ME, ADHD and a list of others. Wey Education has helped these children to fulfil their potential and follow their aspirations.

Background

Lord Jack Ashley (1922-2012) was MP for Stoke on Trent South for 26 years and a pioneer of disability rights and equality. He established and then chaired the influential All Party Parliamentary Group on Disability for over 40 years and was instrumental in securing the UK’s first civil rights laws for disabled people.

Professor Stephen Hawking is arguably the world’s most famous scientist and author of best-seller ‘A Brief History of Time’. Prof Hawking has had motor neurone disease for most of his adult life.
