During April 15–19, EDC researchers will join global partners in education transformation at the 2024 USAID Global Education Conference in Washington, D.C. Themes for this year’s gathering include a focus on continued learning loss recovery, challenges for education amid increases in conflict and crisis, and the need for inclusive and sustainable systems change.
Conference participants will learn best practices from our international staff and partners and hear more about EDC’s global projects, ranging from enhanced literacy instruction approaches in Zambia and Kenya to labor market research on green and blue workforce opportunities for young people around the world.
