InEd is coming together to forge our vision in the evolution of education
Here are some facts:
52% of parents indicate they prefer to direct and curate their child’s education rather than rely on their local school system.
"What exactly does my child need to flourish?"
“Choice” is a privilege. Many parents—especially those from underserved backgrounds—make educational decisions based on core needs (e.g., cost, convenience, safety). Nevertheless, when asked to imagine the future—unrestricted by time and resources—parents’ report aspirations for a more student-centric education. This underscores the importance of solving for parents’ core needs; only then can all families elect to pursue educational experiences in line with their values and needs. Policies that make alternative school models and out-of-school learning more affordable and convenient (e.g., ESAs, charters, scholarships) are critical to catalyze a more equitable and student-centric K-12 ecosystem.
79% of parents believe learning can and should happen everywhere, not just in-school.
More than 70% of parents are interested in new in- and out-of-school programs.
Despite this interest, only 1 in 4 parents have sufficient knowledge to act.
Providing families with clear and easily accessible information is critical to catalyze parents’ broad aspirations into action.
Most of these families—while open-minded—report limited ability to pursue new offerings consistent with their values and needs.
Supply is Limited.
Among suppliers we spoke with, more than 80% report demand is meeting or exceeding expectations; in turn, they are hyper-focused on increasing capacity to serve more learners.
Gaps in participation across nearly all out-of-school programs relative to income and race. For example, children from underserved backgrounds are nearly two times less likely to participate in learning outside of school than their peers.
