Fair Education Alliance

The Fair Education Alliance is the UK's largest and most influential education coalition. We are a unique group of approximately 200 organisations dedicated to ending educational inequality by working together to make progress more quickly. Young people from low income communities are much less likely to succeed than their wealthier peers. The achievement gap begins long before they start primary school and widens throughout their education. The reasons for this inequality are not simple, and lie in an intricate web of social issues. Addressing such complex problems takes more than one institution, one organisation, or even one government. Progress to date has been too slow. Although many organisations and individuals are investing significant time and resources to address this, often the work is done in silos. This means that each day children are left behind, and we need ambitious action now. We bring expertise from multiple sectors and geographies, and use our collective voice and collaboration to tackle this problem together.
