Policy priorities
The aim of our policy priorities is to offer evidence-led, practical steps to move towards a society of more equal opportunities from early years to adulthood.
We are pleased to see strong investment in education, including to attract and retain teachers, in today's budget. It is a proven, long-term driver of growth and the budget starts to deliver against some of our CEPEO evidence-based policy priorities: www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departme...

Myself and @richmurphy-econ.bsky.social have written and thought a lot about HE finance. Here is our take on the current problems facing the sector:
1. Restore maintenance grants
2. Begin phased restoration of fees/maintenance loans
3. Dont scrap the current system: it's fundamentals are good
