Education Endowment Foundation
In 2011 the Sutton Trust, as the lead charity in a partnership with the Impetus Trust, was awarded a £125 million arm's length grant by the Government to establish a major new initiative to boost the attainment of some of the country's most disadvantaged children. The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) will be used to initiate grants and seek proposals from schools, teachers, local authorities and charities to improve the performance of poor pupils in the country's most challenging schools.

Famous quotes containing the words education, endowment and/or foundation:
“Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I wish more and more that health were studied half as much as disease is. Why, with all the endowment of research against cancer is no study made of those who are free from cancer? Why not inquire what foods they eat, what habits of body and mind they cultivate? And why never study animals in health and natural surroundings? why always sickened and in an environment of strangeness and artificiality?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1976–1959)
“The foundation of humility is truth. The humble man sees himself as he is. If his depreciation of himself were untrue,... it would not be praiseworthy, and would be a form of hypocrisy, which is one of the evils of Pride. The man who is falsely humble, we know from our own experience, is one who is falsely proud.”
—Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
