Education
The Lord Nash. Parliamentary under-secretary of state for schools and co-chair Pimlico Academy.
Chairman: Sian Griffiths
High quality education for all individuals is a priority in today’s society. The Debrett’s list defines those who play an influential role in realising this. It recognises individuals operating at the primary, secondary and higher education levels; those forming education policy, those regulating it and those providing support for persons who would not otherwise have access to or benefit from the opportunities on offer.
Sian Griffiths is the education editor at The Sunday Times and the deputy editor of the Sunday Times News Review. For a number of years she has provided an informed and influential commentary on many matters of education; from exams and university admissions to school selection and private tuition. She is a reliable and prominent authority.
