UCL Centre Edu Policy & Equalising Opportunities

UCL Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities.

We create cutting-edge research focused on equalising opportunities across the life course. Our work seeks ways to improve education policy and wider practices to achieve this goal.

What are we trying to achieve?

• We are one of the most unequal countries in the developed world, in terms of outcomes and opportunities. Our multidisciplinary work seeks to reduce these inequalities:
• We identify barriers to opportunity in under-explored areas, using innovative methods and thinking, and co-producing evidence-led policy solutions to reduce barriers to opportunities.
• We offer insight and impact at every stage of the life course, through the centre’s four main research streams: early years, schools, tertiary, and adulthood.
• We research previously unanswerable questions, through innovative data collection and analysis.
• We design, implement, and evaluate Randomised Control Trials (RCTs).
• We address novel questions in under-researched areas using existing large scale data from administrative sources, and from our rich birth cohort studies.
