Research that makes a difference to the life of every learner.
Education Futures was established by the Faculty of Education in 2018. It operated as a think tank on education policy and practice – a platform where educators, policy makers, business and community leaders and researchers could come together to imagine the future of education through research, debate, collaboration and innovation.
The core of Education Futures was a team of eminent education researchers with a focus on applied, translational research and driven by a belief that academic expertise can most effectively inform policy when it remains accessible to the broader public.
Over the three years of its operation, Education Futures produced a number of substantial research reports, consulting reports, research briefs, articles and editorials, and hosted live and on-line events. Our Education Futures Final Report 2018 – 2020 details all these activities and achievements over the past three years. The Final Report, along with our various published research reports, can be downloaded via the links below.
