 \nAbout the Webinar\nThe polysemic concept of ‘evidence’ is omnipresen
 t in international development and comparative education. A lot has been s
 aid on ‘what works’ (as opposed to why\, how\, where and when)\, or wh
 ich policy is a ‘smart buy’\, but there is little agreement on what 
 ‘evidence’ actually means\, and how it can contribute to decision-maki
 ng in educational planning and management.\nThis talk will contrast eviden
 ce-based and evidence-informed practices\, and review a few epistemic bias
 es that subsist in the field of educational planning and management. Devel
 oped as a response to the limited access of planners and managers to resea
 rch findings\, the IIEP Education Policy Toolbox is designed to bridge the
  gap between those who publish evidence and those who wish to use it for p
 olicy design.\nThe Policy Toolbox is a collection of more than 900 open ac
 cess resources\, summarized and organized in thematic areas of constraint 
 in education systems\, to provide educational planning professional with p
 olicy options that have been researched and reviewed.\nThe webinar will pr
 ovide sufficient time for group discussion. Country participants are invit
 ed to share their own experience on the webinar’s topic.\nWebinar Outlin
