Education Leadership and Policy

Staff expertise is deployed through research, teaching, and engagement in the following areas:
- Adult higher education
- Childhood practice (i.e., leadership in non-compulsory education and care)
- Comparative education and global educational development
- Education and culture
- Education for democracy, sustainability, and peacebuilding
- Educational change and collaborative improvement
- Leadership, management, and governance in education
- Social and economic impacts of education policies, programs, and practices
- Teachers and teaching
- Technical and vocational education and training
Members of the group regularly advise on education policy and practice for international organisations, national and local governments, and third sector partners.
