Important new @TheEconomist piece on learning losses and the need for effective recovery approaches economist.com/international/… @benlpiper @angrist_noam @JaimeSaavedra22
Great to see this emphasis on the role of "purpose", which I agree is an underappreciated aspect of education system transformation.

Congrats on the paper coming out @danrodseg. This is an important paper, showing what can happen when a gvt commits to all children learning foundational skills, and reorients the system to achieve that goal.

New working paper out on how an education systems framework can help to "understand success, diagnose failure, and inform action to bring about improvements to children's learning" - we put the framework to work with 2 case studies to understand coherence/incoherence for learning
