The National Education Research Panel (NERP), managed by C3 Education, provides the educational community with the data and commentary it requires to develop resource use in schools and colleges. Accurate, timely information and analysis allows schools, and providers of products and services, to best meet the challenges of resourcing education.

Latest research headlines

As the impact from the discontinuation of eLCs, many organisations are interested in the impact this decision will have on digital content sales. Our recent investigations estimate that, while the market for all software types in schools is projected to fall up nearly 5% in 2009, digital content sales fair better with a small contraction of 1.5%. The loss of spending is most likely to be seen across primary schools.

During the next two terms, NERP will be initiating the following omnibus research projects. There may be time to participate in these projects as either a contributor or as a research respondent – especially if you have insight into any of the subject matter.
  • Impact of new technologies
