THE EDUCATION POWER 100
THE RAINMAKERS AND GAME CHANGERS OF BRITISH EDUCATION
Who has the power to shape the future of British education?
The Education Power 100 is a definitive celebration of the people and organisations whose ideas, leadership and influence are changing the way Britain learns.
These are the rainmakers, innovators, disruptors and game changers operating at the forefront of education — the individuals and institutions setting agendas, challenging convention, raising standards and creating opportunities for the next generation.
Power in education is no longer measured simply by title or position. It is measured by impact: the ability to turn an idea into change, to influence institutions and government, to transform the experience of learners and educators, and to shape the national conversation about what education should become.
The Education Power 100 recognises those making that impact across Britain’s vast education landscape — from schools, colleges and universities to apprenticeships, skills, research, technology, AI, publishing, investment and lifelong learning.
Some are household names. Others operate away from the spotlight. What unites them is their capacity to make things happen.
They are building institutions, pioneering technologies, opening new pathways into work, transforming teaching and learning, challenging established thinking and taking British educational expertise to the world.
And their influence increasingly reaches far beyond the classroom.
Education sits at the centre of Britain’s response to some of the defining challenges of our time: artificial intelligence, productivity, social mobility, skills shortages, economic growth and the rapidly changing world of work. The decisions being made today will determine whether Britain develops the talent, knowledge and human potential required to compete in the decades ahead.
That makes the people shaping those decisions increasingly important.
The Education Power 100 identifies and celebrates 100 of the individuals and organisations helping to determine what comes next.
The thinkers. The builders. The innovators. The leaders.
The rainmakers and game changers shaping the future of British education.
This is the Education Power 100.
