EB News: 19/09/2025 - 13:58
Education Business magazine has unveiled its EB50 Most Influential 2025 – its annual spotlight on 50 individuals who are making a significant difference in the world of education.
Now in its fourth year, the EB50 list recognises those who are driving change and inspiring progress across the sector. From classroom practice and curriculum development to assessment, governance, funding, safeguarding, policy, training, teacher wellbeing, and school leadership – these individuals are helping shape the way education is delivered.
This year’s list features a diverse mix of sector leaders and changemakers, including current and former teachers, union voices, MAT executives, government bodies, charity heads, and association leaders. Each has played their part in influencing how schools operate, how educators teach, and how students learn – all while tackling the sector’s biggest challenges with the goal of helping every pupil thrive.
