Its time to make education relevant

Making education relevant for...

  • all – promoting greater equity in our society
  • the real world – making sure that learning is engaging and exciting
  • employability – ensuring that all young people are ready for work
  • communities – tailoring solutions to the different nations, regions and place around the UK

Inspiring the education system with a twin track approach

Track 1: Supporting best practice

In the short to medium term we are helping schools, colleges and training providers to use the existing flexibilities in the system to adopt new and engaging approaches and enhance relevance by highlighting interesting projects.

Track 2: Influencing future policies

Over the medium to long term we are helping policy makers at all levels to change the system to enable practice to become embedded, better preparing young people right across the UK for their futures.
