Education Pledge
Supporting the next generation of designers with accessible Gravity Sketch training
Providing unique learning experiences for the next generation of designers
In recent years, the UK’s Design and Technology (D&T) education sector has faced significant challenges, including a marked decline in GCSE and A-Level entries. The Design Council reports a 67% decrease in GCSE Design and Technology entrants between 2011 and 2023 (Design Council, 2024). Factors include curriculum changes, recruitment challenges and funding pressures (Design and Technology Association, 2023). Our pledge is designed to help address these barriers through practical, impactful training and support.
