We are pleased to see strong investment in education, including to attract and retain teachers, in today's budget. It is a proven, long-term driver of growth and the budget starts to deliver against some of our CEPEO evidence-based policy priorities: www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/departme...

The aim of our policy priorities is to offer evidence-led, practical steps to move towards a society of more equal opportunities from early years to adulthood.
