About the Project!

The English Secondary Students’ Association (ESSA) is a national organisation run by and for young people aged 11-19. It seeks to ensure that young people have the skills and confidence they need to speak out about educational issues affecting them.

ESSA’s video competition gives you the chance to produce a 3 minute video in which you outline your suggestions for constructive changes to the education system in relation to one of the following categories:

Teaching and Learning

Where We Learn

Enjoying Education

Student Voice and Leadership

The Future of Education

This is your chance to have a say about what you think education should be like. From the videos that you submit we are going to write a ‘Manifesto for Change’ and give this to key policy makers to influence them and the general public about the future development of education policy in England. We will also make our own short film featuring your work so that we can show policy-makers what you think.

Our launch will be in the Houses of Parliament and we hope to get politicians actively involved with your ideas.

Our sponsors represent many of the UK’s educational organisations and are excited to see how you feel you should be taught.
