Since 2020, Big Change has been listening to the public, and especially young people, to understand the big changes they want to see in education.
Through a national listening exercise including hundreds of Big Education Conversations we have heard that young people, parents, teachers and employers all agree that now is the time to rethink the purpose of education and to change things for the better. There is growing consensus that we need a broader set of goals for education. Every group agrees that learning should be for life, not just exams.
Subject to Change argues that we need to set a new direction for learning, centred on a new purpose and driven by the perspectives and ideas of young people and other key stakeholders.
