Since its launch in 2020, the Lifelong Learning for All Network has conducted six research studies on educational inequalities, engaging over 2500 survey participants and facilitating dialogue with 300 participants through focus groups and interviews. Drawing upon these findings, the network has formulated six sets of policy recommendations tailored to each educational level – from early childhood to higher education, as well as adult education:
