OUR PROGRAMMES

---

Education.org's Programmes include a new international initiative that will change the way different types of evidence can be found, classified and appraised to produce high-quality syntheses which are more useful for policymakers; and country programmes that support Ministries of Education to use evidence more effectively in their decision making.

In 2023-24, Education.org's  ‘International Working Group’ (IWG), comprising education and evidence experts from across the world, will build on existing synthesis methodology and develop a new, coherent and intellectually rigorous system to make a wider range of evidence (including locally-generated evidence and grey literature) easier to identify, access, and use in educational decision-making.

In addition, Education.org's existing relationships with Ministries of Education, combined with our deep understanding of policy planning and implementation, mean we are well equipped to help ministries achieve long-lasting improvements in their culture around evidence use, and to strengthen tools, processes and infrastructure for increasing evidence-led decision making in their plans, policies, and guidelines. We have already achieved tangible results with our pioneer country partners, regulated by Memoranda of Understanding with Ministries of Education in Kenya and Sierra Leone, and are now developing new relationships in several other African countries . 

Partnerships are crafted for an initial three-year period, initially focused on two objectives: 

1. Raising access and quality for out of school children; and 
2. Improving the professional capacity for evidence use across Ministry of Education policy cycles and processes.
    

In our standard model, a technical team of Education.org staff and the Ministry of Education's Director of Policy, Director of Research, and Director of Curriculum carry out the day-to-day work, reporting into a Steering Committee co-led by Education.org and the Principal Secretary or Minister of Education. But other models of support are being developed to accommodate the needs of the different Ministries.
