Education 2030 agenda

The effectiveness of education interventions in improving school participation and learning: a systematic review of the evidence

 

Improved access to education has failed to translate into learning in many countries. A range of different education interventions have been implemented to resolve what is being seen as a learning crisis. Do these interventions work? 

To examine this important policy question, the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) carried out a systematic review that synthesised evidence from 238 studies on 216 education programmes in 52 countries. It is one of the most ambitious systematic reviews conducted to date as it assesses the impact of a range of interventions on a host of outcomes including children’s school participation, learning and teacher performance. For this review, the authors synthesised the quantitative evidence on the effects of education interventions in low-and middle-income countries. They also reviewed the research on process and implementation to explain the findings.
