Challenge question

How can we use open data to help parents make informed choices about their children’s education in one (or more) of three areas?

  • expressing a preference for a school
  • choosing a subject or other learning priorities
  • engaging with their children’s learning

Social impact

The platform promotes the full range of educational options available after GCSEs, and offers young people information to make the best possible choices. This will stimulate greater accountability amongst educational providers and encourage greater competition and better services in the future.
