More information and how to submit
The 2026 What Works Hub for Global Education conference will be held at the Blavatnik School of Government, Oxford, and will be accessible online. It will bring together rigorous research with practical policy and implementation experience to drive improved knowledge and practice. Submissions are invited from researchers, implementers and policymakers showcasing evidence and findings from their work.
Submissions aligned with the following themes are encouraged:
Evaluation of foundational learning programmes at scale
Compelling policy and/or government-led scaling examples
Strong implementation science-oriented measurement techniques (e.g. implementation, learning and cost measurement)
Adaptative and iterative approaches, including A/B testing
Evidence on core components of evidence-based approaches such as teaching at the right level or structured pedagogy
Evidence use for policy or programme decision-making
Service delivery (e.g. bureaucratic delivery mechanisms)
The intersection of GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion) and implementation at scale.
