The Intellectual Property (IP) Education Framework (developing creativity and innovation in tomorrow’s workforce) has been developed to equip the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and creatives with the knowledge to identify, protect, use and respect IP. The framework sets out that knowledge through age-appropriate competency statements from primary to higher education. Learning about intellectual property will help prepare young people for employment, responsible digital citizenship. Developed in consultation with teachers from across the four UK nations, with industry and professional bodies. The IP Education Framework is a cross cutting resource that supports each of the UK curricula. It has been designed so that teachers can easily access the parts of the framework most relevant to their teaching. The framework signposts free education resources from the UK IPO and partners that support teachers and educators to introduce IP concepts into everyday lessons, building learners’ understanding and practical application of ownership and ideas, creativity and innovation.
