We invest annually in our education research program to ensure that education reform is evidence-informed. Our research supports policymakers around the world, as well as our own on-the-ground efforts — and all of it is available for free download here on our website.
You can also access our rapid-response COVID-19 research, including eight quick-turnaround reports for EdTech Hub and three for the K4D Helpdesk, in our dedicated section.
The non-governmental sector often represents the only viable option for education in many parts of the world—especially in low-income countries, where government-run systems are frequently overwhelmed and unable to meet the growing demand for education. Despite its critical role, this sector receives limited attention in both policy and research.
Teacher management in different environments worldwide
Globally, there are 70.8 million forcibly evolving people. Of these, 25.9 million are students, more than half of whom are private. Effective management of teachers is fundamental to ensuring inclusive, equitable and high-quality education for these young people, and teachers are the most important factor affecting student learning. In situations of crisis and displacement, the role of teachers is particularly important: they are sometimes the only resource available to students. This report looks at teacher management in different contexts, and is the second in a series of recent reports. It contributes to a burgeoning body of evidence about teachers in evolving contexts and aims to provide decision guidance to support modern professional education.
