After a decade of nurturing a new generation of maths and physics teaching talent, the Future Teaching Scholars programme came to a close at the end of September. Edt has delivered the Future Teaching Scholars programme on behalf of the Department for Education in England since 2015. We are proud to report that in addition to training new cohorts of maths and physics teachers, the programme has led to high retention rates of these early career teachers: 90% of those who started initial teacher training through the programme have remained in the profession after three years, against a national average of 73%.

Edt's CEO, Dan Sandhu, examines the challenges and opportunities present in the current landscape of international education development, and looks to the future, exploring what we need to do differently, calling for a necessary reassessment of how the sector operates. In the article, Dan emphasises the importance of long-term commitment to local education improvement priorities, and relationship building between ministries, foundations, and likeminded organisations, to ensure sustainable success.

We welcome the UK government's extension of its £45 million scheme to support young adults into work, at a time when a number of young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) continues to climb. Based on our extensive experience, we believe this funding needs to be available to a range of services nationally and locally to support those who may fall outside of traditional education routes. Support should also reflect the diversity of the individuals it aims to reach.

With increasing recognition of the importance of effective early childhood education, it is crucial that we consider the training and development available to those working with the youngest children. In this think piece, we consider key elements of the Early Years Professional Development Programme (EYPDP) in England, and what lessons the success of this programme may hold for future initiatives in the sector.

In a significant boost for early childhood education (ECE) and foundational learning in Zimbabwe, edt will join as the newest implementing partner on the School Readiness Initiative (SRI).

What if the greatest learning boost comes from helping students understand how to learn? That is the promise of metacognition - a word that may sound complex but refers to something very practical: helping students take control of their own thinking. It is about building learners who can plan their approach, monitor their progress, and adjust when they encounter difficulties.
