Strengthening schools in the South region: building resilient, inclusive and future-ready learning environments

We are inviting education stakeholders from across the South to attend the National Education Assembly (NEA) South meeting where we will discuss ‘Strengthening schools in the South region: building resilient, inclusive and future-ready learning environments’.

The National Education Assembly (NEA), powered by the Foundation for Education Development (FED), provides a space for people with day-to-day experience of the education system to share insights that can help shape national policy. Its purpose is simple: your voice – heard, shared, amplified.

FED & NEA South, delivered in partnership with FED and The Edwin Group and Co-Chaired by Phil Hedger (CEO, LEO Academy Trust) and Dr Nicole Ponsford (Founding CEO, Global Equality Collective), launched in Spring 2026.
