Cambridge Partnership for Education

Season's greetings from all of us at Cambridge University Press & Assessment 🌟

One of the things we're really looking forward to in 2025 is working further with Centre for Education Systems on an international project comparing the UK's curriculum policy with that of ten other countries. The second half of 2024 has been all about curriculum and assessment review in the UK, and we'll be adding perspectives from around the world to this vital conversation. Patrick Wall: “There’s a surprising gap in global education research: while we have strong outputs from top researchers, we lack a single, comprehensive source that compares national education policies and highlights what’s possible. Without this, governments risk cherry-picking ideas from various countries, creating a patchwork of inconsistent reforms. This review, led by Cambridge, aims to change that.” Jane Mann: "This review isn’t about finding the ‘right’ answer – it’s about serving up evidence and data at a crucial time for decision-makers. It’s about learning from other nations and gaining a deeper understanding of the UK context. Ultimately, it’s about promoting ‘coherence’ – the secret to better learning for all children." 🔗 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eRgkgHwS Tim Oates CBE Daniel Morrish Nicky Rushton Cambridge University Press & Assessment Nuffield Foundation Lucy Crehan Loic Menzies Sam Freedman #EducationMatters #GlobalLearning #CurriculumInnovation #CurriculumReview #Education

"The 100th anniversary of the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child is not just a historical commemoration, but a call to action. It highlights the need for a renewed commitment to ensuring every child's right to education, wellbeing, and the opportunity to flourish in an uncertain future," writes our Managing Director Jane Mann for Diplomatic Courier.

Over the weekend Jane Mann and Christine Ozden joined ICESCO at COP16Riyadh to explore how Cambridge and ICESCO's co-authored Greening Education Framework policy recommendations can support education leaders across the globe. In these challenging times, education is key to building resilience and sustainability. Together, we explored practical ways to empower education system leaders to prepare future generations for a rapidly changing world. 📌 Friday highlights Jane participated in a panel on "Governance in climate education: building inclusive, data-driven educational models for a sustainable future." The discussion, moderated by ICESCO’s Dr Ahmad Albanyan and Waqas Afridi, brought leaders from the ministries of education in Oman and Saudi Arabia, UNESCO, the Islamic Development Bank, universities and private organisations together to focus on the urgent need to transform education systems to meet climate challenges. Jane emphasised: ✅ The integration of climate education into broader educational reforms. ✅ Alignment with global frameworks such as the SDGs. ✅ Partnerships as catalysts for effective, inclusive governance. 📌 Saturday highlights Jane and Waqas moderated the session "Greening education for a resilient future," co-hosted by ICESCO and Cambridge with leaders from across the middle east and beyond. This session focused on embedding climate knowledge, skills, and resilience into education systems globally. Christine shared her insights on the critical role of partnerships in driving sustainable change and accelerating the transition towards greener education, especially focusing on girls' education. Events like this remind us that international collaboration is not just valuable—it is essential. We are looking forward to building on this momentum in 2025 and beyond.  #ClimateEducation #Sustainability #GreeningEducation #COP16

In an era where climate action requires all hands on deck, education is a critical lever. It’s only through informed, skilled, and empowered individuals and communities that we can collectively tackle the climate crisis. Today at #COP16 in Riyadh, as part of the ICESCO International panel, I was reminded of the power of education to shape a more sustainable future - and the critical role that good governance, partnerships, and preparedness must play. A perfect example of this is the partnership between ICESCO and Cambridge Partnership for Education which has led to the development of the Greening Education Framework and associated policy recommendations. This initiative provides a comprehensive roadmap for integrating sustainability into education systems worldwide. It emphasises the importance of designing context-specific policies that are not only ambitious but also actionable, addressing both systemic needs and on-the-ground realities. By combining ICESCO’s global vision with Cambridge’s expertise in policy and education frameworks, the collaboration ensures that the recommendations are both inclusive and pragmatic - helping governments, educators, and institutions align their efforts for maximum impact. These partnerships remind us that tackling climate challenges through education is a collective responsibility, and together, we can build the systems needed to support a greener, more equitable future.
