LEARN will highlight short-, medium- and long-term patterns of inequalities with a view to supporting educational policymaking in being able to robustly address these inequalities with interventions which are evidence based. Using a case study approach in nine carefully selected countries which capture the diversity of Europe"s education systems, LEARN will map and collect existing data providing original analysis of a range of high-quality education focused longitudinal educational data sets across Europe. LEARN will identify interventions that compensate educational inequalities by providing a synthesis of existing work across Europe examining specific trends in educational inequalities and interventions intended to reduce them. LEARN will then go on to develop tools for policymakers related to the findings of longitudinal analysis which support them in the policy making process.

This project proposes a programme of research and methodological innovation to understand the risks to, and vulnerabilities of, families and communities in the transition to a net zero carbon society; and to build a usable and dynamic framework that enables policy makers, local and national stakeholders to strategically plan for and manage transition in such a way that it mitigates and reduces inequalities, and places equitable family and community outcomes at its heart.
