On July 5, in collaboration with the Foundation for Education Development, Edge was thrilled to host a rare gem of a panel discussion with three former Permanent Secretaries from the Department for Education. Chaired by the BBC’s education editor Branwen Jeffreys, we welcomed Sir David Normington, Lord Michael Bichard and Jonathan Slater. All reflected on past education policy, what’s worked, what we can learn and where the future might lead.
