NFER 75th Anniversary

Our mission for the past 75 years has been to improve outcomes for future generations everywhere and to support positive change across education systems.

In this, our milestone year, we are reflecting back on past achievements and considering how we can use the depth and breadth of our experience and pioneering research methods to influence the future of education and support better outcomes for children and young people - not just in the UK, but globally.

We will be delivering a range of activity across 2021, designed to stimulate discussion under the umbrella theme ‘The future of education’ and to enable us to focus our expertise on the challenges of the future. Watch this space for guest blogs and details of forthcoming events centred on this theme.
