'Calling for an Education Knowledge Bridge: A White Paper'

Education.org has published 'Calling for an Education Knowledge Bridge: A White Paper to Advance Evidence Use in Education'. 


This White Paper, created for anyone interested in improving education outcomes, responds to discussions with policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. It draws on a thorough 12-month analysis of 45 organisations and 80 interviews with Ministers of Education and their officials, academics, knowledge actors, education practitioners, and leaders and experts from International and Non-Governmental Organisations. Its Key findings are:


 In education, the greatest obstacle to progress isn’t the lack of research but the failure to use existing research:

  • While vast sums of data do already exist, these resources are not easily accessed or used by policymakers and practitioners, preventing the development of evidence-based policies that could improve children’s learning globally.
  • This knowing-doing gap is at the root of the failure to improve children’s learning worldwide, with the greatest impact on vulnerable and marginalised children – especially girls, minorities, those in poverty, displaced children, and children with learning differences and special needs. 
  • A critical part of the response to the learning crisis can be met by urgently addressing the education sector knowing-doing gap.

While the building blocks of an Education Knowledge Bridge do already exist, this White Paper calls for urgent collective action to fast-track progress and close the knowing-doing gap in the next ten years. This can be achieved through:

  • promoting generation of user-oriented research focusing on evidence gaps in highest areas of need; 
  • building capacity for sector-wide synthesis comparable to what already exists in the health sector and has turbocharged progress;
  • creating actionable guidance from the synthesis for policymakers to seize;
  • implementing change by helping policymakers turn guidance into policies and practices;
  • building a culture of evidence use in education.

We Need You!

Education.org is inviting all education stakeholders to come together and join forces on this journey.


As we build the Education Knowledge Bridge and forge greater synergy among existing actors, we will be rapidly iterating, evaluating and learning, so that this model and infrastructure can best meet the needs of decision-makers at all levels in the shortest feasible timeframe.

The more that this model matures, the faster the global knowledge base will grow, so that synthesis and guidance can be shared more quickly, to truly support decision-making. Ultimately, we seek to sustainably strengthen the use of evidence in education, so that all children and young people have the opportunity to realise their full potential.


If this mission inspires you or if you would like to share ideas, please contact us, so that we can build the Education Knowledge Bridge faster and better together.
