EB 50 - Education's Most Influential
Join us for the live reveal of Education Business Magazine's 50 most influential figures in Education, sponsored by Cornerstone.
Now in it's fifth year, the EB50 is a selection of inspirational people shaping the education sector. This may be in classroom practice, curriculum delivery, assessment, governance, funding, safeguarding, policy reform, training, teacher welfare or business management.
They have all played their part in shaping how the education system is delivered, how schools are run, how teachers teach and how pupils learn. These individuals work to overcome the challenges facing the education sector to create a system where pupils thrive.
