Alliance outlines its five goals to help end educational inequality

Pupil wellbeing
An alliance of 25 education business and children’s organisations has set out five goals that it says must be achieved in the next 10 years if we are to reduce educational inequality.

The Fair Education Alliance was unveiled at the Wellington Education Festival last week and includes organisations such as Save the Children, the National Association of Head Teachers, Barnardo’s, Teach First, and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

All 25 organisations have signed up to work towards achieving five key targets, which have been dubbed the “Fair Education Impact Goals”.

The goals were created after consultation with more than 1,700 teachers and other experts. They are:  

1. Narrow the gap in literacy and numeracy at primary school.

2. Narrow the gap in GCSE attainment at secondary school.

3. Ensure young people develop key strengths, including resilience and wellbeing, to support high aspirations.
