27 February 2019

The IOE also provided a 鈥榮tate of the nation鈥 report on England鈥檚 school system, supported edtech startups, celebrated the 60th birthday of the 1958 national birth cohort study and launched the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Pedagogy. Alumna Andria Zafirakou was also named the world鈥檚 best teacher.

Speaking on the news of the IOE being named world number one for education, , Director of the IOE, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a wonderful accolade and testament to the incredible work being done by all our staff, students, alumni, partners, clients and funders. But we can鈥檛 ever be complacent. We have a job to do, and that job is more challenging and more needed than ever.

鈥淥ne of the greatest challenges facing society is the pace of change, whether driven by technological advancement or greater instability around the world. 听We are working to understand and directly respond to these drivers.

鈥淚鈥檇 like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us in our work over the past year, and say how much I鈥檓 looking forward to continuing to work together.听

"In these turbulent times, it is education that will enable individuals and societies to better face the challenges of change.鈥

It demonstrates the strength and breadth of our academic excellence and teaching, as well as our capacity to address some of the most pressing issues facing the world today.
