In 2002, the borough entered into a 10-year contract with the Learning Trust, an independent collaborative body that organises education for Hackney's 27,000 pupils in over 70 schools, nurseries and play centres. The trust was set up in response to an [[OFSTED]] report that identified failings in the then existing system.<ref>[http://www.learningtrust.co.uk/about_us/history.aspx Learning Trust history] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927230215/http://www.learningtrust.co.uk/about_us/history.aspx |date=27 September 2007 |access-date= 5 May 2007}}</ref> Two of London's most successful [[Academy (English school)|City Academies]] are in Hackney with another two in development and plans to rebuild or renovate every other Hackney school by 2016.
LBH regained responsibility for education in 2012, absorbing the Learning Trust under the new name "Hackney Learning Trust".
