A panel discussion with World Bank and OECD specialists on the role of multilateral institutions in education reforms around the world.
Zoom details: To be sent to registrants during the week of the event.
How can multilateral institutions produce actionable evidence for diverse country contexts? What are the strengths and limitations of international policy advising?
Join CERIP, a special interest group from Education Reform and Innovation at the University of Cambridge, on Tuesday, 26 October for a panel discussion on the role of multilateral institutions in the global education reform agenda. On this occasion, we will be joined by Alina Sava, Education Specialist with the World Bank in Romania, and Anna Pons, Project Lead of Global Teaching InSights at the OECD Directorate for Education and Skills.
Alina and Anna will share the valuable lessons they have learned about the challenges and possibilities of translating country-specific evidence to new locales. By the end of the session, we will have a better understanding of multilateral advisory practices and the ways in which such high-level research can — or cannot — inform educational planning on the ground.
Please note that the event will be recorded.
