Our Research
All Education research impact world leading or internationally excellent.
Research Excellence Framework 2014
You'll be debating challenging questions such as:
What is the future of learning in the 21st century?
How can we guarantee education for all across the developing world?
What is the future role of international agencies, national governments and the private sector in education?
Is the traditional model of schooling still fit for purpose?
What alternative solutions are available and what role will technology play in the future of learning?
On this course you will get the opportunity to discuss these topics with our world class faculty, which includes:
Professor Sugata Mitra
Professor Pauline Dixon
Dr James Stanfield
Professor James Tooley
Our teaching is informed by research conducted by the EG West Centre. It is the world's leading authority on the growth and development of affordable private schools serving low income communities across the developing world. Recent research has focused on post conflict countries such as South Sudan, Liberia and Sierra Leone and on the growth and expansion of chains of low cost private schools in different countries around the world.
Over the previous decade extensive and detailed research, directed by Professor James Tooley, has been carried out across all five continents, documenting the enormous and previously neglected potential of private schools to serve the educational needs of the poor.
"Education is a self-organising system, where learning is an emergent phenomenon." Sugata Mitra
Professor Sugata Mitra's ground breaking research into the potential of self organised learning in different communities around the world is a key focus of the Centre. His earlier work through the Hole in the Wall experiments, showed that groups of children with access to shared digital resources can learn to use computers and the internet and go on to learn much more than previously thought possible on their own without adult supervision.
