“Equity in education is about more than providing equal access; it's about understanding how those access needs adapt and change based on circumstance.” OUP is a signatory to the United Nations SDG Publishers Impact, so we aim to work alongside other publishers to inspire action in the delivery of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Goal four is all about ensuring “inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all”. With the theme for this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) being ‘Embrace Equity’, it feels like an important time to reflect on the steps we’re taking at OUP to champion equity across all our operations and activities. This month, our CEO shared the actions OUP is taking to ensure equity across our organisation and in education, as well as the areas where we can go improve and go one step further.

Positive Outlook
No Opinion of CEO

Pros

People are really kind and friendly Atmosphere is supportive Management listen and support Is a company with clear values There are lots of growth and educational and career progression opportunities

Cons

It can feel slow to make significant progress sometimes, in part due to the size of the organisation

Advice to Management

In my area I think things work well. I think continuing to work to simplify things to make it easier to change and adapt is a good approach.
