About

Department for Education awarded a contract to University College London for the design and delivery of the first panel of the Education and Outcomes Panel Study (EOPS), specifically the Children of the 2020's panel.

The study will collect data from parents of children aged approximately 9 months and follow them until ages 5/6, covering early years through primary school.

Key objectives include providing evidence for policy areas relating to babies and infants, early childhood education and care, primary school, and disadvantage.

The study will use a random probability sampling approach with a first wave sample of approximately 8,500.

The first wave and at least one subsequent wave will be wholly face-to-face, with remaining waves a mixture of face-to-face, phone, and web surveys.

Project design and setup commenced from late November, with piloting in April and mainstage fieldwork planned for June to October 2021.

The contract value is AUD 5,949,690.
