EDT was proud to lead a recent scoping study on education system resilience (ESR), on behalf of the Global Partnership for ´óÏ㽶ÊÓƵ (GPE) Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KIX) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). As a part of GPE KIX's Observatory Initiative, this study, ´óÏ㽶ÊÓƵ System Resilience: GEP KIX Study Working Paper, explores how countries understand ESR and examines the policies and practices in place for system strengthening, and to anticipate, plan for, prevent, and mitigate future crises.

On 16th July 2024, we were proud to contribute to important discussions on the next steps for early childhood education (ECE) in England at the Westminster ´óÏ㽶ÊÓƵ Forum, with our ´óÏ㽶ÊÓƵ Director, Tony McAleavy, delivering the talk ‘Using research and evidence to influence early years policy and effect systemic change’.

The African Union (AU) Year of ´óÏ㽶ÊÓƵ is stimulating important discussions about the stark reality of educational underachievement in Africa, and galvinising political will around the urgent and critical need for action. However, solving the foundational learning crisis is not enough – we must also tackle Africa’s youth unemployment crisis.

The climate crisis is arguably top of the agenda globally, but its impacts on education and the work we need to put into resolving such impacts remains understated. In this episode of Brighter Futures, we’re bringing those issues and necessary resolutions to the forefront. Join a fantastic panel of Kulima’s Dr Katharine Vincent, and EDT’s Donvan Amenya and Rachael Fitzpatrick, as we highlight the interconnected nature of these challenges, and how best to approach these vital solutions.

EDT welcomes the recent announcement by the UK government on the development of Skills England. We welcome the opportunity to play a fundamental role in the development of an approach that can transform the landscape of skills development in England. We are ready to contribute our research, labour market information, programme delivery, and employer engagement resources and expertise to support this important initiative and help build a more skilled and adaptable workforce for the future.

The transitions from school to higher education and employment can have a significant impact on an individual’s lifetime potential. Earlier in 2023, we conducted a literature review to help us understand the challenges that girls in low-resource settings face when making their transitions. In this article we reflect on the findings of the report, the promising interventions it highlights, and some key lessons for policymakers.

A child’s early years are arguably the most important in their development, so the quality of early years education should be paramount. Whether we have consensus on what is needed for this vital age group, the priority areas of improvement, and how we address inequity of early learning experiences are all conversations at the heart of episode 9 of Brighter Futures.
