EBEA campaigns and responses to Government consultations
EBEA aims to play an active role in influencing Government policy in the areas of Economics, Business and Enterprise education in schools. Our membership includes experts in these areas, from experienced and newly-qualified teachers and tutors in Higher Education to Ofsted inspectors, subject advisers, examiners, assessors and resource providers. We call on this huge range of expertise in our efforts to promote best practice in the teaching and learning of Business, Economics and Enterprise and to raise awareness of how essential it is that these subjects, which provide young people directly with the tools to improve their lives and operate effectively in society, rightly claim their full place in the curriculum.
The list below shows our track record in campaigning for our subjects. The sub-menus on the left give more details for each of these campaigns.
