- How effective school partnerships can enhance the quality of teaching and learning, and the creation of more vibrant, cost-effective provision. - How business and industry can take on a more strategic and structured role in the construction of meaningful learning experiences. - How high-quality local authorities can foster personalized provision in their own area.
