We want education to recognise and support the different ways people learn, understand and make sense of the world
Film, television and radio give learners diverse routes to encounter ideas, explore perspectives and engage with knowledge. We want this potential to be recognised alongside other forms of learning, so educators can effectively reach and support today’s students.
The future we want to see
Our ambition is an education system that responds to the needs of its learners; where educators have the confidence and resources to create inclusive, engaging learning experiences; and where students can question information, encounter a range of perspectives and develop the understanding and judgement to make informed decisions.
What this means for today’s learners
Education should give more than one route into an idea. For example, combining screen and sound with other forms of learning can make complex concepts more tangible, provide real-world context and create more opportunities for learners to participate and build understanding. As a result, more students can engage meaningfully with their education, overcome barriers to learning and make progress with confidence.
Creating change across education
Lasting change extends beyond individual classrooms. It depends on skilled, well-supported teaching, accessible learning environments and inclusive everyday provision.
Learners
Greater opportunity to participate, grasp complex ideas, overcome barriers and progress with confidence.
Institutions
Cultures and approaches that anticipate barriers, widen participation and make inclusive practice part of everyday provision.
Educators
More tools, expertise and flexibility to create purposeful experiences that work for a broader range of students.
A mission we can advance together
Lasting progress happens when the same ambition is shared. Our members help this work gain momentum, supporting a future where screen and sound are valued for the contributions they make to teaching, understanding and participation.
