Education

Uncertainty around funding in the aftermath of Brexit, the introduction of academies, the possible return of grammar schools, and SATS tests are all causing upheaval in the education sector. Meanwhile, developments in digital technology have been revolutionising everything from teaching to research – with virtual teaching aids, online lectures and drones for field research becoming popular – making this a fascinating time to be involved. 

The schools, colleges and universities that succeed in the long term will be those that successfully navigate the multiple changes in the sector, while making the most of the new technology at their disposal.
