[Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP) @GEEAP_]

Great discussion at the @WWHGlobalEd Accelerated Learning breakfast on Ghana & Nigeria’s efforts to reintegrate out-of-school children.

Key takeaway: flexible, activity-based learning and strong community ownership are key to improving foundational learning outcomes. 🚀

[Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP) @GEEAP_]

Great discussion at the EdLabs Breakfast hosted by @WWHGlobalEd at #EWF26 on how evidence shapes education.

Examples from South Africa, Pakistan & Rwanda showed impact on access, literacy & systems reform.

As @JSHerbertson from @FCDOGovUK said: “What matters has to be counted.”

[Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP) @GEEAP_]

Bringing together Nigeria & Pakistan counterparts with @WWHGlobalEd & partners at #EWF26 for an evidence dialogue on private schools, PPPs & how governments navigate complex education systems

Key message: no “plug & play” solutions-only context-specific,evidence-informed choices

[Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP) @GEEAP_]

Great to join an evidence dialogue with the Government of Malawi, @WWHGlobalEd & partners at #EWF26

Fruitful discussions around

📊Structured pedagogy (a @GEEAP_ “Great Buy”)
🎯Teaching at the right level
🔄Curriculum reform

Turning evidence into real learning gains at scale

[Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel (GEEAP) @GEEAP_]

Great to see @GEEAP_ contributing to important conversations at #EWF26.

There’s a growing shift in global development; from proving impact to improving it. 🌍

Our latest blog recaps our recent A/B testing webinar we co-hosted with @WWHGlobalEd , featuring presenters from @poverty_action, @gatesfoundation, Department of Basic Education (RSA), @AgencyFund and @Pratham_Intl. We explored why more organisations, governments, and funders are turning to iterative experimentation to continuously refine programmes and deliver better results at scale.

If you’re working on scaling impact, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
