Welcome to the EducatED Hub
You are here because you recognise that It’s tough on marginalised people to always be a teacher. We all understand that real equality will come from education but we must ALL take accountability for this.
In the EducatED Hub you’ll find the thoughts and experiences of people who want to share with you.

I left school without being able to read properly. The system failed me and it’s still failing too many people.
Nearly a million young people in the UK are unemployed, with many leaving school without basic literacy, numeracy or qualifications. The crisis is not only within classrooms but across the wider system that supports youth. International models show what works: Finland’s early literacy interventions, Germany’s respected dual apprenticeship system, Norway’s integrated youth hubs and Estonia’s forward-thinking digital curriculum. By adapting these, the UK can close education gaps and offer meaningful pathways into work and higher learning.
The article argues that reforms must go beyond piecemeal fixes. Education should prepare young people not just for exams, but for a world shaped by AI, automation and rapid technological change. Core subjects remain essential, but creativity, critical thinking, financial literacy and digital skills are equally vital. By learning from abroad and integrating services around education, the UK can build a coherent system that values all learners and ensures no young person is left behind.
