Driving meaningful change

During the Review, we shared a range of suggestions with the panel and government – from the need for subject and qualification reform, to the importance of key skills, pathways and innovation. 

All of the recommendations we made were inspired by our work with schools and colleges across the country. Together, we’ve already kickstarted important conversations and shaped what the future could look like.
