Education inequity is urgent:

📊 1 in 3 children grow up in poverty.

This isn’t just about schools - it needs a whole-society response.

On 12 Sept we launch our new strategy From Neighbourhood to National to change systems so every child can thrive.

Collaboration is key. Quote from Sean Harris that says "Educational inequality cannot be addressed through education alone. Schools play a vital role in communities, but they are part of the solution, not the solution. To drive system change, organisations and leaders must move beyond competition, personal agendas, and working in isolation."
