==Lobbying for corporate education reform==
Promethean's 'Thought Leadership' materials outline its pitch to policy-makers. The language is that of the corporate education reform movement. It promotes three core themes:
*underlining education’s role in economic growth
*increased personalisation and collaboration in learning
*21st century learning and increased efficiency in education
All push the idea of technology replacing outdated model of teacher-led education.

=== Education Fast Forward===
