Bridging gaps: How can we create a more equitable education system

24 Jan 2025
The Arena
Diversity & Inclusion

An expert panel of education leaders will be developing and delving further into insights from the recent report ‘Mapping the Way to Educational Equity’ by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. This report sheds light on how various elements, like the costs of further education, perceptions of success, and job market conditions, impact the choices that young people and their families make.

They'll explore how access to good jobs can help disadvantaged students turn their academic achievements into real opportunities. In areas with fewer professional options, students face greater challenges in crafting successful futures. The panel will tackle these complex issues and examine the gaps in our understanding of opportunity and discuss how factors like attendance, food insecurity, work experience and economic conditions play a role in educational outcomes.

Gain valuable insights into how policymakers and educators can work together to create a more equitable education system. Take away practical strategies for measuring and improving opportunities for all students.
