| | FEBRUARY 20246EditorialThe field of education consulting has seen major changes in recent years driven by advances in technology and a greater focus on customisation. One major trend is the use of data and analytics to better understand students' unique needs and craft personalised education plans. Consulting firms are leveraging big data, machine learning algorithms, and predictive modelling to gain insights into how different students learn and what approaches might work best for them. This data-driven approach allows consultants to tailor recommendations specifically for individual students or schools rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.Another key trend is an emphasis on social-emotional learning and development. Education consultants recognise that academic achievement relies heavily on factors like motivation, resilience, and healthy interpersonal relationships. Many firms now offer services like counselling students on issues like anxiety or adversity, training teachers on building growth mindsets in students, and helping school leaders shape a positive school culture. This reflects an understanding that children's overall mental health and wellbeing is integral for educational success. Driven by these trends, the education consulting market size is projected to increase by $ 677.89 million by 2027, accelerating at a CAGR of 5.37 percent.This edition of Education Technology Insights Europe delves into the latest developments in educational consulting and how companies innovate, collaborate, and strategically plan to bring novel methods to market successfully.It features a thought leadership article from Marcus J.
