Summit 2015

The Education Reform Summit – 9th July 2015, London

Our Education Reform Summit was a great success with a gathering of the top UK education leaders, policy makers and reformers on the 9th July 2015 in London. Hosted by The Education Foundation in partnership with the Mayor of London, we brought together participants from across the UK, Europe, USA and around the world to explore and shape the future of Britain’s education system.

The Education Reform Summit was also preceded on the 8th July by a Number 10 Downing Street roundtable with some of our high profile speakers including Andreas Schleicher, Michael Teutsch, Vicky Beer and Richard Culatta.
