Our spotlight is on Results for America (RFA) this week. RFA empowers government leaders to utilize evidence and data-driven approaches, unlocking solutions that drive economic mobility and enhance lives. How does this tie to education equity? By prioritizing evidence-based practices, RFA ensures that educational resources are directed towards initiatives proven to make a meaningful impact, thus advancing equity and opportunity for all students.

A recent report by David Halpern (former president The Behavioural Insights Team) is easily missed but it's pretty important. He highlights a critical gap in education R&D: while global education spending is expected to reach $10 trillion by 2030, less than 0.1% of education budgets is invested in research - well below the OECD’s recommended 1% for R&D. This chronic underinvestment means that evidence based practices in education remain limited. Schools, universities, and policymakers are often left relying on outdated or untested methods.

What does being school have to do with being 75? What are the nervous systems we are investing in within our education systems? Are we willing to apply intelligent investment principles to ourselves, not just our financial resources? Are we shaping neurologies that are active, free, hopeful, healthy, empowered? Or sedentary, anxious and under pressure? Are our education systems perpetuating past models or oriented to healthy, sustainable future? #education #health #sustainability #investment #futurethinking #embodiededucation 

New research by Loic Menzies, a researcher and policy specialist working with our Cambridge Assessment Network, has outlined a fresh vision for how to navigate the deep challenges that stand in the way of educational equity. The report titled ‘Mapping the Way to Educational Equity’ explores six key themes: 1. It’s time to bring young people on the margins' achievements into the picture. 2. Leaks in our data infrastructure need sealing. 3. The labour market is an important component in understanding educational outcomes. 4. Young deserve the agency to engage with the data that is gathered on them. 5. Cross-sectoral approaches are our best bet in shifting the dial on equity. 6. Long-term funding and sustained relationships yield better results - and better value for money.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible mark on the world, impacting around 1.5 billion learners globally and unveiling the fragility and inequalities within our educational systems. This crisis has forced us to rethink and reevaluate how education can be made more resilient, accessible, and equitable in the face of unforeseen challenges. How are nations and educational institutions adapting to ensure continuity in learning amidst such disruptions? https://bit.ly/3wWmHhz #EducationForAll #EducationInnovation #ImpactInvesting

There are many ways people attempt to develop youth and many fail. Why? Because it matters how we invest in young people. We cannot fill them with empty empowerment, building youth up with fluffy words. For young people to grow into healthy, flourishing, contributing adults we need to invest in what they actually need. Intelligent investment is required to help them reach their full potential. We must rely on evidence-based, proven ways to reach and grow young people in order to make a difference. Sign up to receive our white paper when it's released later this month where we dive into eight ways to develop youth that actually work. https://hubs.ly/Q02PtPC50
