Pearson’s education toolkit for Members of Parliament

 

 

More than half of the 650 MPs elected in the 2024 general election, are new to the role. One of the big areas of casework MPs will come across in their postbags and inboxes relate to the complex world of education and skills policy. The myriad of systems, terminology and regional differences can make this a difficult area to navigate. This is why we created our MP toolkit, consisting of the important information about education and skills policy, which help MPs and their office teams support constituents.

Inside the toolkit

This document includes a glossary of education terms, an indicative academic calendar, list of education unions and professional bodies, the relevant all-party parliamentary groups, and information about workforce skills needs across the regions of England.

We have also highlighted Pearson’s in-depth research in key policy areas, including our Skills Map of England and our annual School Report, which provides a state of the nation view from inside the classroom.

While this resource was designed with MPs in mind, it will also be of use to people looking to brush up on education and skills policy, and therefore we are making this resource free to download for everyone. You can download a copy below.
