Working with others to make a difference in education: Opportunities and challenges
05 Mar 2026, 17:30 – 19:00
The ESRC Education Research Programme has been investigating the different kinds of partnerships that form in education to tackle issues of mutual concern.
They know that sensitivity to context matters, that resources and infrastructure are crucial, and that relations between partners need to be built on solid foundations of trust and mutual respect.
They hope the discussion will promote new thinking on the many questions that remain unresolved, including which topics benefit most from being approached in this way.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers, policymakers, school teachers, school leaders and funders.
