Ahead of the general election on the 4th of July, the Education Policy Institute (EPI) will finish the second half of our two-stage research project working to ensure that education is a key priority in party manifestos and in the public discourse leading up to the election.
Last Summer, we published a report setting out Education priorities in the next general election. Once the manifestos are released, EPI will be publishing an assessment of the education-related pledges to review how well they are aligned with the evidence and whether they are likely to tackle key challenges facing the sector, in particular looking at their impact on closing the disadvantage gap.
On the 25th of June 2024, we will be hosting an event to launch this second report. Following opening remarks from Jon Andrews, EPI and Josh Hillman, The Nuffield Foundation, there will be an overview of the key findings from EPI researchers Robbie Cruikshanks and Shruti Khandekar. We will then hear from an expert panel of key education sector leaders including Sir Jon Coles, United Learning; Felicity Gillespie, Kindred2; David Hughes, Association of Colleges and Anne Longfield, Centre for Young Lives. The panel will be chaired by James Zuccollo, EPI. The project and event are kindly supported by the Nuffield Foundation.
