Top policy priorities
Evidence-based policy change is urgently needed. Drawing on the breadth of our work, we have identified three top priorities for action.
High quality early years education for all
How the government can prevent widening inequality in access and a deterioration in quality of provision.
A national strategy to close the attainment gap
School funding, great teaching, access to tutoring and tackling poverty are key to closing the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers.
A more progressive student finance system
Maintenance grants should be re-introduced and overall maintenance levels should be increased, to reflect the true cost of living.
