Following the general election and Labour landslide victory, what will be the future of education in the coming years? We asked leaders in the education sector – headteachers, leading academics and other educators – to share their response to the question ‘What does education need next?’ We are delighted to share their thoughts in Beyond Manifestos.
In response to Beyond Manifestos, written by educators, we felt that there was an obvious absence – pupil voice. So, we would now like to share with you some pupil perspectives regarding their own hopes for the future of education.
The thoughts shared here come from schools in a range of contexts and from pupils of different ages. Now that we know who is going to form our new government, we felt it was a good time to share their thoughts. Their voices are powerful and it is striking how much consistency there is in what they have to say.
