The Foundation for Education Development

The FED is dedicated to the belief that long-term strategic education planning is vital to the success of countries and their people. In the spirit of collaboration, we provide an independent and neutral space for stakeholders to help shape the future of education. Our objectives. We exist to support long-term planning in education systems that ensures every learner, no matter their background, receives the best possible education at every stage of their educational journey. We believe that the foundations of an education system should be built on a cross sector approach which delivers for children, young people, and lifelong learners for the future prosperity of countries. Our approach. Is based upon the following principles… Education has a vitally important part to play in a country that is confident, optimistic and prosperous. A cross-sector approach to developing and implementing education policy is the bedrock that will help shape an education system and its practice. Education policy should serve the long-term interests of our countries and learners – it should be long-term, predicated on evidence and have cross-sector buy in.
