Past Program

For just over two years the Education Policymakers Network has been meeting online and in-person to share and learn together around the idea of introducing a Breadth of Skills into education for 3-12 year olds. Their collective work has been focused on looking at developing opportunities for social, emotional, creative, academic, and physical skills development into education in their respective systems. 

Much of this work has taken place against the backdrop of COVID-19, pandemic recovery and the global transforming education agenda. Education systems have been under a wide variety of different pressures and international education co-operation and shared learning has been more important than ever. The eighteenth virtual meeting of the Education Policymakers Network is going to focus on the legacy of the network and potential future possibilities to collaborate. This will be the final meeting of the network in this form.

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 learners.

Each of the virtual network meetings hear from a guest speaker on a specific topic and then look at the evidence of impact and existing policies around a specific reform idea.

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

This virtual network meeting is only open to participants in the Education Policymakers Network.
