S03E63 Data Must Speak (DMS): A UNICEF Education Research
Description
Could the solutions to learning crisis already exist within education systems?
In this episode, Aml speaks with Jessica Bergmann, an Education Research Specialist at UNICEF Innocenti, on the Data Must Speak positive deviance research. For the past 3 years, Jessica has been supporting this initiative, which empowers school actors as change agents and aims to harness existing data and local solutions to improve learning outcomes.
The DMS positive deviance research is being implemented in 15 countries thanks to a coalition of donors: the Global Partnership for Education Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (GPE KIX), a joint endeavour with the International Development Research Centre, Canada, Hewlett Foundation, Jacobs Foundation, Norad, Schools2030 Initiative (Aga Khan Foundation) and UNICEF internal resources.
This episode highlights the key elements of the DMS research, the outcomes, and how co-creation is implemented across diverse countries and classrooms.
