Want to know more about school budget and ICT spending? Join us for this seminar to hear more about latest research and forecast for next few years.

The first element of the seminar will provide an update on school budgets leading into a detailed assessment of ICT provision and spending through to 2020.

The latest research findings will be mapped to our annual trend data for the sector and help guide you through the recent spending changes and what is forecast over the next few years.

The seminar is presented by Richard Connor;

Richard has been conducting market research exclusively in the schools’ sector for over 25 years, beginning at BESA then founding C3 Education in 1996.  The National Education Research Panel (NERP) was subsequently founded with the support of key education suppliers in 2005 to be able to provide more robust and representative data on the marketplace.

Building on his experience of running several educational software companies, Richard has developed a wide range of research projects using innovative methodologies and insight to support suppliers in this sector.

His latest initiative is launching the International Education Research Panel (IERP) in 2016, which aims to mirror NERP and provide a platform for researching English-medium international schools.
