Date: 21st June 2021
Time: 2.30pm to 4.15pm UK
Event type: Webinar
Effective uptake of the growing body of evidence on education in low and middle income countries (LMICs) is essential for the design and implementation of policies to address the ‘learning crisis’. In recent years, efforts to synthesise the evidence in education have gathered pace, including through ambitious systematic reviews and recently through the work of the Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP) hosted by the UK FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) and World Bank. The Panel released its first recommendations on ‘Smart Buys’ in education for low- and middle-income countries in October 2020 and is working with policymakers in LMICs to support the use of global evidence in decision-making.
In this webinar, we will hear perspectives from GEEAP members and academics and practitioners in the UKFIET and wider education-evidence constituencies on the generation and use of evidence-based recommendations for addressing real-world educational challenges at scale.
