Join us for the DARE-RC International Education Summit 2026, organised in collaboration with the Syed Ahsan Ali and Syed Maratib Ali
School of Education (SOE), to explore how evidence can drive inclusive and resilient education reform in Pakistan.
Under the theme “From Evidence to Action: Advancing Education Policy and Practice in Pakistan,” the two-day Summit will bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, funders, and education leaders to move beyond sharing research findings towards identifying practical priorities for reform.
The Summit will consolidate DARE-RC evidence, draw out cross-cutting lessons, and focus on three priorities:
- Synthesis: What has DARE-RC evidence taught us?
- Influence: Where has evidence shaped policy and practice?
- Action: What should be prioritised next?
Discussions will identify priorities for policy reform, opportunities to scale effective approaches, and directions for future research, helping turn evidence into partnerships and practical next steps for education reform.
The waitlist is now open. Register your interest here.
