Professor Pritchett will explain how RISE is producing new, rigorous scholarship that bridges research and policy and catalyses education reform to improve learning outcomes for all.
The programme aims to spur a paradigm shift in the way the world thinks about how to overcome the learning crisis by demonstrating the importance of education systems coherence and alignment to learning. It aims to provide local, national and global actors with an analytical framework that will enable them to understand education systems, identify incoherences, undertake systemic prioritised reforma and deliver learning for all.
Although this event is free and open to everyone, it will be particularly useful for academics and students interested in education systems.
