Education


 

Welcome to the Forum for Change Education cluster

Over the next few months we aim to update this site with articles, events and networking opportunities for all those involved in the education sector with a heart for transformation.

"Teachers are on the front line of Christian ministry and, behind parents, are the single greatest influence on children. They have the opportunity to shape the future by transforming people's learning. Forum for Change provides an exciting opportunity for those of us active in education to catalyse each other's work so that Christian teachers are even more effective Gospel-shapers of society."

Dr Trevor Cooling, Director of the Transforming Lives Project
and Forum for Change Education cluster host
