The Education Committee leads the UK National Commission for UNESCO‘s education-related work.

The committee’s membership is drawn from a broad spectrum of the UK education sector – primary, further and higher education, vocational training, and formal and informal education. The committee is chaired by Peter Lavender.

The Education Committee currently hosts two Working Groups, an Affiliated Working Group, a task Group and a Steering Group.
