About the event

RISE is a large scale, multi-country research programme developed to answer the question: “How can education systems be reformed to deliver better learning for all?” The RISE Programme Annual Conferences bring together high profile academics and policy makers for two days of lively debate.

The 2017 conference featured presentations of the diagnostic studies from the four initial RISE country programmes in India, Pakistan, Tanzania, and Vietnam as well as various sessions relating to education systems research. A special panel session on diagnosing system incoherence took place on Day 1 of the conference with panellists Claudia Costin (Center for Innovation and Excellence in Education Policies/Getulio Vargas Foundation), Alec Gershberg (New School University), Jaime Saavedra (Education Global Practice at the World Bank Group), and Liesbet Steer (Director of the Education Commission).

The full conference programme and RISE Annual Conference 2017 conference report are now available to view.
