About the event
The RISE Programme launched more than eight years ago with a mandate to investigate how education systems in low- and middle-income countries can overcome the learning crisis. Bringing together seven country research teams, two political economy teams, a research directorate and synthesis team, and a vibrant community of practice, the programme has produced new, rigorous scholarship that bridges research and policy. This webinar will highlight key papers and research findings that contributed to our understanding of education systems and how to improve their coherence for learning.
While it is impossible to summarise the over 400 outputs from the programme, Dr. Lant Pritchett, RISE Research Director, will present on what he considers some of the most pathbreaking findings to emerge from the programme. Dr. Charlotte Watts, FCDO Chief Scientific Advisor & Director of Research and Evidence Directorate, will chair the webinar. The webinar will highlight how RISE has been part of a growing “wave” in the field of education dedicated to ensuring a quality education and better future for today’s children.
