Education as a Business
The education landscape has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Academy conversion and the subsequent creation of multi-academy trusts (MATs) have presented leaders in the sector with new opportunities and new challenges. Whilst the focus of the academy sector is still very much on teaching and learning the fact is that academy and MAT leaders are now solely responsible for the wellbeing of students, schools and the overarching business. In short, MAT leaders now have to focus on education as a business, as well as the business of education. Achievement in the classroom and the development of confident young people are compromised if the non-teaching elements of your business are not maximised.
