There is a better way to make and deliver education policy

Too often education policy-making feels confused, counter-productive, and fails to achieve its outcomes. Using our experience of working inside and outside Government, we want to help find ways to create better policy-making processes for the education sector.

Our work shows that policy-making should be collaborative, iterative, and think long-term.

Our new book, Improving Education Policy Together, shows how to make these ideas a reality.

“Cooperative, iterative, and long-term: that’s what the authors of this fascinating book would like to see much more of in the world of education policymaking, and so say all of us! It is absolutely no surprise that my ex-colleague Gareth - along with Nansi - have written something so thoughtful, engaging and practical.”

Jonathan Slater, Former Permanent Secretary at the Department for Education, UK.

Hear us talk about the book

We were delighted to be interviewed by Tom Richmond on the EDSK podcast. We talk about the key themes of the book, why politicians and institutions act the way they do, and whether we are optimistic for the future!

You can also hear us talk about the book to James Bowen of the NAHT on their School Leadership podcast. Find out more about the policy making process and who our favourite Secretary of State is!
