The Foundation for Education’s (FED) two-day summit in July will take a series of different lenses to long-term education thinking. We ask some key politicians about building cross-party consensus as we suggest some new approaches that will make it easier to move away from stale arguments about structures and concentrate instead on education as a catalyst for genuine levelling up and community growth. We will challenge some assumptions about purpose and practice and deep dive into why some policies succeed whereas others fall at the last hurdle. The programme of the two-day summit is outlined below.
