Other issues of research interest include but are not exclusive to: how best to support inclusion of marginalised groups (including freedom of religious belief - FoRB) in the education sector; research into high-potential innovations in policy and practice which focus on the UK's key policy issues of improving teachers and teaching, strengthening systems, and supporting the most marginalised; and improving education system resilience in the face of the increasing impacts of climate change.
