A global dialogue in education matters. The ability to learn from international experiences, adapt evidence-based policies, and co-develop solutions across borders is crucial in navigating the increasingly complex landscape of education reform. EDT convened its third Global Dialogue event in January 2025, bringing together policymakers, educators and partners to explore key educational challenges, discuss learnings and best practices, and identify scalable, contextually relevant strategies for reform.

Having made a dramatic impact on over 650 schools and multi-academy trusts since its launch in 2021, the Behaviour Hubs programme is coming to an end in April 2025.

EDT has nearly 30 years’ experience of supporting education in emergencies and refugee settings, and working in fragile conflict-affected states.

We also build on the findings of our multi-country research projects, to develop programmes that enable teachers to meet the needs of refugees and displaced learners, and support governments with national education system reform.
