Education

For the British electorate, education comes third to only the economy and healthcare as the issue influencing how they will vote; for people with children, it’s the top issue.

Our dedicated education team specialises in providing high quality, robust and nuanced research and evaluation to inform practice, policy, debate and communications across the education sector, using a variety of quantitative and qualitative research techniques. Our work involves the full range of audiences with a stake in education, including learners, parents/carers and practitioners, policy-makers, their delivery partners and other influencers.

A Shifting Landscape

New priorities and challenges will shape the education sector for the next five years, and beyond. We’re already experienced in researching key issues laid out in the Coalition’s programme for government.

Our Research

Our research plays a key role in informing policy development and measuring its effect, in evaluating the impact of communications, strategies and initiatives, and in providing evidence or opinion on delivery and practice.
