The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. Their goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all, drawing on 60 years of experience and insights to better prepare the world of tomorrow.
The Schools+ Community is where all the members come together twice a year to share insights and collaborate on common challenges. The Community is comprised of representatives of governments (including ministries and local education bodies), organisations, research bodies and schools themselves.
Meeting the challenges of the 21st Century means that schools must be empowered to play a more central and active role in leading improvements in education.To support this, Schools+ brings together major education networks to put schools at the centre of education design. Schools+ participants unite around three core objectives:
- Foster exchange: to provide a space for education networks to learn with and from each other on the leading practices to support schools.
- Drive structured learning & innovation: to advance schools’ knowledge by identifying grassroots innovations and facilitating co-creation and evidence generation on common pressing challenges.
- Inform policy: to leverage schools’ innovations and expertise to better inform education policy across countries.
