About CES Partners

​

CES is a not-for-profit partnership. Our mission is to improve education for all - by learning from systems around the world. 


We are building knowledge for all those shaping education policy - using CES expertise and our partnership model. The CES team plans, distils and disseminates international policy reviews, hand-in-hand with partner academics and research organisations. The CES team is experienced in research, international and policy advice, together with systems, synthesis and organisation building. Similarly, the CES Advisory Board appreciate how to generate quality research and insight - and how to integrate this into the process of policy making.

Partners

CES partnerships grow as additional policy areas are reviewed. Critical to success are, domain knowledge vis-a-vis the policy instruments in question (e.g. curriculum, accountability, assessment etc), research and analytical expertise across a range of methodologies and system capabilities e.g. EPPI-Reviewer. CES anticipates there will be an increasing use of AI driven exploration of data sources and descriptive information, together with technically enabled collaboration and co-creation.

​

For the two Nuffield reviews, the Curriculum team leads and co-investigators are Jane Mann, Tim Oates and Dr. Daniel Morrish from Cambridge University Press & Assessment. For Accountability, team leads and co-investigators are Dr Alison O’Mara-Eves and Dr. Antonia Simon (EPPI); Professor Melanie Ehren (Vrije Amsterdam); Professor Simon Burgess (University of Bristol). Ruth Maisey is the Nuffield Programme Head and Josh Hillman the Director of Education at Nuffield.​

Funding

CES is funded through a mixture of research grants and charitable donations, the latter from foundations, trusts and private individuals. CES wishes to maintain its independence, in order to provide knowledge and insight which is non-partisan and comprehensive. CES does not advocate specific reforms, but it can explain how objectives and outcomes might best be achieved.  The CES scope for international comparative reviews covers all ages of education, from pre-school to adult and all of the building blocks in the education system (see areas of interest).  CES is interested to work with those who wish to learn more about certain stages or aspects of the complex education system, to share this knowledge with everyone in the education eco-system and to ensure change is effective and enduring.

Surprisingly, there are no organisations in the world using the CES model. Our research identifies this. The NCEE in the USA shares similarities, but undertakes primary research, rather than systematically reviewing existing research. There is some cross-over with ad-hoc OECD projects, but their main body of work is statistical and does not methodically study the country-by-country systems and context that operates behind the numbers.

The CES Community Interest Company number is 15550235 and funds can also be donated via the associated Charitable Foundation for Education Development, number 1169268. CES are pleased to publish the names of any donors.
