Implementation is part of the research, not just the final step.
@WWHGlobalEd has published a paper in @ScienceMagazine, arguing that the next frontier for education research is understanding how evidence-based approaches are implemented at scale.

We’ve had a brilliant couple of days at the What Works Hub for Global Education Conference! 🌍
We asked participants to sum up the conference, and what they found inspiring, in three words.
Here’s our vox pop to hear what they had to say. 🎥

2 days of research, policy & practice. 1 big question: how can we turn evidence into better implementation at scale through govt systems to improve foundational learning for all?
Thank you to all our speakers, chairs, partners & participants for a great #WWHGEConf26.
Day 2 📸.

Our conference brings researchers, policymakers, practitioners & education leaders together. We want to explore how we can collaborate with governments to make evidence work in real-world systems, and at scale.

As Grace Muzila put it: “Start small and start strong.”
This event was a valuable reminder that successful implementation is about learning from experience and working collaboratively with #governments to make evidence work in practice.

Can an intervention that works through an NGO also work through government systems?
New research in @Nature suggests yes.
Across 5 countries, phone-based tutoring produced large learning gains – including when delivered by government teachers.

📣 New paper out in @ScienceMagazine!
Co-authored by our co-founder @angrist_noam, the paper calls for education research to move beyond identifying what works and focus on how proven approaches can be delivered effectively, equitably and at scale.
It also highlights our A/B testing in Botswana, where seven of 12 rapid tests generated efficiency gains, showing how continuous testing can strengthen impact and cost-effectiveness in real time.

Delighted to see this paper out. It's been fun to work on this with @angrist_noam and many colleagues (mostly not on X). Also perfect timing before the @WWHGlobalEd conference next week in Oxford!
✨ Our research agenda on implementation science is now published in @ScienceMagazine! This is the next frontier to ensure "what works" actually works at scale when delivered by govts and is implemented with high fidelity @WWHGlobalEd @BlavatnikSchool science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
