IFS Director Paul Johnson has joined the new Times Education Commission, a year-long project bringing together experts on education which is expected to inform government policy.
The commission has a wide-ranging remit including the curriculum, qualifications, social mobility, exclusions, new techology, lifelong learning and the number of people going to university.
Due to begin in June and conclude in the summer of next year, the commission follows in the wake of school closures and the surge in online learning, which the commission states 'has provided the perfect opportunity for an overhaul of the system to be considered.'
