Welcome to Education.org

Improving evidence. Strengthening systems. Transforming lives.

We are an independent non-profit initiative that envisions a world where the education of all children and young people is transformed by the best evidence.

Our mission is ‘to improve the learning of every child and young person by helping leaders access and use the best evidence to guide their national policies and plans'.

The Challenge

Two hundred and twenty-two million children and young people are in desperate need of education support. Seven out of 10 students are not achieving basic literacy and numeracy skills and the COVID-19 pandemic has widened inequities and further slowed progress towards the global community’s collective commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 4: to ‘Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’. There is a wealth of evidence and experience being generated within the education sector in response to these challenges, but they are not being used by education policymakers and practitioners around the world for two reasons:

1. When education evidence is produced, it is often not accessible or useful for policymakers.

Much of the research and data currently being produced in global education is developed with other audiences in mind, such as technical specialists or programme implementers. It is rarely accessible or useful to those tasked with rolling out national strategies, plans, and guidelines. Finally, it doesn’t necessarily help them with the practical business of translating policies into action and impact.

2. The education sector has not yet cultivated a culture of valuing and using contextual evidence for policymaking.

Academics, practitioners and system leaders in the education sector are divided by different cultures and incentives. Although they need to collaborate to address the massive global educational challenges we face, these communities usually work in isolation, and lack the infrastructure, incentives and culture to bridge the gaps between them. For example, when researchers communicate evidence through journal articles, policymakers struggle to digest the amount of diverse and sometimes conflicting information, and to translate the evidence into policy. Practitioners find it challenging to relate the relevance to their classroom context.

Education.org believes it is not a lack of evidence, but the inability to use what we know, that makes our education crisis worse. The absence of a well-functioning ‘Education Knowledge Bridge’ forms a ‘knowing-doing’ gap that prevents leaders and practitioners from making best use of the evidence and knowledge that would lead to better policy and practice, and improved educational outcomes for the world’s children and young people.

Education.org begins a new synthesis: Can You Help?

At a time when Ministries of Education around the world strive to provide Accelerated Education Programmes (AEPs) as a mechanism for strengthening access, opportunities and outcomes for the growing numbers of over-age out-of-school children and youth, an apparent paradox is emerging: growing enrolments in AEPs are rarely matched by successful post-AEP transitions to formal primary or secondary school. Building on Education.org’s earlier AEP evidence synthesis, and the work of the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies Accelerated Education Working Group (INEE AEWG), we aim to answer this question: What evidence-informed actions can education decision-makers take to support successful transitions from primary level Accelerated Education Programmes to formal primary and formal lower secondary school? But we need your help:

Can you help us source relevant reports and other evidence to inform our synthesis?
Are you interested in collaborating? We are seeking input from education policy leaders, researchers, funders and implementers to develop a comprehensive understanding of the transition process and barriers in different countries.

Rebâtir une nation grâce au pouvoir de l’éducation

Dr Randa Grob-Zakhary d’Education.org et Awut Deng Acuil, la ministre de l’Éducation du Soudan du Sud, font converger leurs expériences et leurs perspectives à la fois uniques et communes sur l’importance de systèmes éducatifs inclusifs, notamment au Soudan du Sud.

Faced with unprecedented challenges from escalating conflicts, climate change, population movements and the after effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, global education systems are struggling to meet the needs of two billion children. Accelerated Education Programmes (AEPs) are a key tool for providing education to out-of-school children and youth (OOSCY), including those displaced or left behind by formal systems. In December 2023 Education.org published an updated edition of our High-Level Policy Guidance on Accelerated Education Programmes for OOSCY: Steering Through Storms: Five Recommendations for Education Leaders to Close the Learning Gap in Times of Crisis.

'Steering Through Storms' provides:

Evidence-Based, Actionable Guidance - enhancing the robustness and efficacy of AEPs and their foundational policies.
A Strategic Roadmap - outlining steps to raise and harmonise AEP standards for better learning outcomes.
Concrete Policy Models and In-Depth Case Studies - offering real-world examples from various countries to illustrate effective implementation and policy success.

Our new 'Strategy 2023-2028'

Since our inception in 2020, Education.org has focused on establishing the exact needs of education leaders by identifying the key components of the ‘Education Knowledge Bridge’ needed to meet the growing global crisis in educational provision, and by refining our own methods of evidence synthesis to deliver the best possible guidance for those leaders.

In our first three years, we are already seeing clear and concrete results from governments using our evidence and tools. Education leaders value our practical problem-solving focus, which is always tailored to their individual countries’ challenges, as well as our team’s painstaking efforts to incorporate previously unpublished, but highly relevant, research findings.

We are now planning the second phase of our organisational growth, during which we aim to build on the lessons we have learned, further systematise our work, and invest in scaling up our activities to expand out impact. We are delighted to share our new 'Strategy 2023-2028: Ready for Lift Off!' which sets out three strategic goals to guide our growth in the next five years, each of which has a series of objectives and intended outcomes to focus our work in that area. These objectives will evolve and change as we achieve them,

Please download our Strategy and let us know what you think of our plans. We are grateful for the tremendous support of our partners, and look forward to taking the next stage of this journey together.

Our 'Education Evidence Pathway'

To address this critical ‘knowing-doing’ gap, Education.org has developed an Education Evidence Pathway that is unique in providing actionable insights to leaders, distilled from the best available global evidence.

Our first reports have earned the approval of education decision-makers around the world, and they have influenced policies in over 90 countries and international organisations.

We have achieved tangible results with our pioneer country partners and have a waiting list of new candidates.
