OXFORD, England - First Lady Michelle Obama is to meet with students from a London secondary school she visited in 2009 to discuss their educational goals.

The meeting with 35 girls from the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School will take place at the Christ Church campus at the University of Oxford.

Officials said Wednesday the meeting will take place in the room used as a dining hall in the Harry Potter movies.

The first lady will make a brief statement and then take questions from the girls aged 12-15.

The students have spent the day immersed in the Oxford experience to learn more about what happens at one of Britain's elite universities.

The meeting is part of Obama's effort to emphasize the importance of education.
