Research
High quality independent research in education and skills, which underpins the Edge Foundations policy development.
At Edge, we believe the education and training system should work to ensure all young people have the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in life and work.
Our policy work around this covers:
- Secondary Education
- Apprenticeships and Skills Training
- Further and Higher Education
Our most recent reports follow on from our Flex without Compromise report last year. Chaos to Coordination sets out our vision for a one stop shop to make apprenticeships easier to find and to simplify the application process. Agents of Change explores the role of brokerage services in helping SMEs navigate the apprenticeship system.
Our policy work is grounded in solid research, shaped by insights from educators, employers and young people, and designed to solve challenging problems.
Edge's Learning from the Past series keeps us on track, highlighting pitfalls and successes of past initiatives and avoiding any unhelpful policy churn.
We work closely with policymakers across the UK to build consensus and ensure that the funding and structures are in place to facilitate the right course of action.
