Support

We need to put right a wrong. Many other countries have national museums dedicated to education and it is wrong that there is not one for England and Wales. The National Education Museum Project needs support. We will be successful in establishing this museum if we demonstrate that a lot of people want it to happen. So please follow us on Facebook and share our posts, watch out for our Tweets and retweet them, like us wherever we show up on social media, spread the word.

This project is rooted in the world of education. We intend the museum to be much more than a conventional examination of the past. It will be a celebration of education, of all who work in education from early years to lifelong learning, and of all who benefit from it. It is from you that we first seek support. Here are some of the ways you can help set this project on its feet.

In fond memory of Fred Jarvis CBE

Fred Jarvis CBE was one of the most respected figures in education in England and Wales, indeed throughout Europe. He was an enthusiastic supporter of the Museum project. We were delighted when, in 2018, Fred agreed to become an Honorary Patron.

Fred died in June 2020 at the age of 95. Though frail and poorly sighted, Fred remained an active campaigner for education to his final days always looking forward towards positive change and development. He was a hero to many. It has been recommended to us that we should invite donations to the NEM project in memory of Fred. We do so with enthusiasm and great respect. Please mark donations “In Memory of Fred Jarvis CBE” and let us know if you are happy to be identified. We’ll list these donations on this website.
