He has played a significant role in transforming this system, drawing on his vast knowledge and experience from the USA where he ran schools that transformed the lives of many disadvantaged students.

In his keynote speech, he highlighted the practical challenges of making education systems more inclusive, solutions that have been tried, and new challenges for education leaders, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners to address.
