Educational stages and sectors

Our research spans across a broad range of educational sectors and settings, including: early years, primary and secondary schools, further and higher education, and also informal settings.

Throughout these sectors, the CSEE is researching an array of contexts such as: science and career aspirations, matters of gender and sexual equity, the understanding of British values, identities and inequalities of ethnicity and class, policy and affect, cyberbullying, sex education, citizenship, family life, and informal science, technology, mathematics and technology (STEM) learning.
