James Caan CBE has called for urgent reform in the UK's education system, emphasizing its critical condition due to social inequality and workforce pressures. He launched the National Education Futures 2025 report, outlining three priorities for transformation: inclusion for all learners, support for teachers, and cross-sector collaboration. Caan stressed that progress relies on shared responsibility and warned against complacency regarding global competition in education. He connected education reform to broader economic issues, referencing significant shortfalls in tax receipts and the implications for the future workforce.
Our education system, buffeted by social inequality, workforce pressures, and fragmented structures, is at a tipping point. But if we tether that kite to purpose, to inclusion, and to long-term vision, it can soar.
Every learner - regardless of postcode, background or ability - deserves to thrive. Diversity must not be bolted on, but built in.
Too many are leaving, burnt out and unheard. When we invest in those who teach, we invest in the futures of those they teach.
No single school or trust can fix this alone. Progress demands shared responsibility at every level.
