This paper delves into the interplay between legislative power and non-governmental interest groups in shaping educational policies. Focusing on five distinct categories, namely education interest groups, non-education interest groups, policy networks, think-tanks, and media, the study scrutinizes the multifaceted roles these entities play in influencing the policymaking process. By establishing a comprehensive understanding of the impact each actor exerts, from constructing databases of educational research to propelling critical issues to the forefront of the political agenda, this essay seeks to unravel the intricate dynamics that underlie the intersection of non-governmental interest groups and educational policy formation. This overview offers guidance and a starting point for school leaders, for building rapport with prime policy actors and influencers who can help you bring about change.
