We are living in a time of convergent crises that taken together place exceptional demands on education policymakers across the world. Education reform is always challenging and complex, and requires sustained energy and political will, particularly so at this point in time because of the pandemic. However, education reform is absolutely essential to equip young people with the skills they will need to deal with these crises.

The seventeenth virtual meeting of the Education Policymakers Network was used to plan the network’s third in-person meeting in Salzburg, Austria. 

The Education Policymakers Network connects policymakers from different countries to work, learn and innovate together. Launched in 2021, the network helps support and sustain education reform around the need to develop a breadth of skills – cognitive, creative, physical, social and emotional – in young and school-aged learners. 

An insights report is generated from each meeting and shared across the network. The meetings are also recorded so that they can act as a resource for the members after they took place.  

The virtual network meetings are only open to participants in the Education Policymakers Network.
