FutureEd: Independent Analysis, Innovative Ideas
There were many important research studies on education in 2025, spanning topics from tutoring to school choice and boys’ struggles in school. But much of today’s most revealing research is lost amid a welter of lesser studies and drowned out by the cacophony of information and commentary on the internet. To help address the problem, FutureEd tracks emerging research and summarizes noteworthy studies for policymakers through our Research Notes series.
