Education after the election: priorities for change
25 June 2024, 5:30 pm–7:00 pm
A funding crisis in every sector of education, widening inequalities, a cost of living crisis for families, rising pupil absence and increasing pressure to provide more support for SEND. These are just some of the issues dominating discussion of education in the run up to the general election. Drawing on their knowledge, experience and research in the education fields, a panel of speakers will debate what the priorities for the next Secretary of State for Education should be and the steps the next UK government could take to make them a reality.
