Education ministers from around the globe are gathering this week for the Education World Forum, at which the What Works Hub for Global Education will be represented. Coinciding with this important event, we launch the What Works Hub for Global Education’s global digital presence: our website and our accounts on X (Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
We are an international partnership working out how to implement education reforms at scale, with the ultimate goal of increasing literacy, numeracy and other key skills in low- and middle-income countries. Explore our website to find out who we are and what we do, and to see the evidence and resources already available.
Over the coming years this evidence and resources section will grow continuously as we generate new insights and facilitate evidence uptake by governments.
The What Works Hub for Global Education will work directly with governments, and be led by their priorities. The government of South Africa, for example, is one of several represented in the Hub. Nompumelelo Mohohlwane, Deputy Director of the Department of Basic Education in the government’s Research Division, reflects on how South Africa will be involved in, and use, the What Works Hub for Global Education: “We’ve been gathering lots of useful evidence over the past few years on reading and foundational learning. There’s more interest than ever in this; the government is busy rewriting plans in order to incorporate evidence into planning and this Hub.”
Noam Angrist, Academic Director of the What Works Hub for Global Education, says: “Implementation is everything when it comes to evidence-based education reforms, but we still know far too little about how to deliver proven programmes at scale, through governments systems, and across contexts. This programme will change that. It’s wonderful to be collaborating with a world-class coalition of partners to advance the science of implementation and to facilitate evidence use by governments, enabling millions of children to learn around the world. I’m excited to discuss this at the Education World Forum, and to start spreading the word widely online.”
