What does it mean to leave a ‘lasting legacy’ in the education sector? If you’re a teacher, it could be the many children who go on to gain valuable academic qualifications and/or pursue successful careers as a direct result of your tutelage. For headteachers, it might be effecting a dramatic turnaround in their school’s reputation, or the addition of a new building to the school estate. If you’re a Secretary of State for Education, the scale is naturally rather different. Their ‘legacies’ will typically stem from a flagship policy (or several) that transforms how the wider profession operates and what it prioritises for years to come.
