What are the big issues that the next generation of education and international development professionals will tackle in order to drive change in education?

Governments and development partners often have their own aims and objectives of what they think needs prioritising and investing, this is often based on the needs of the sector and also the availability of evidence. However, at times professionals working in the industry are often frustrated with how priorities are set and often they present their case as to why their area of work should receive greater prioritisation.

To relive your frustrations, this workshop will provide an opportunity for early career professionals to collaborate and problem solve around some of the big issues in the future of education development. The workshop will begin with a networking activity to provide time for early career professionals to get to know others in the sector. It will be followed by a problem solving activity where participants will work in teams to address some of the major challenges. The session will allow participants to innovate, contribute their own experiences and build relationships with others in the sector.
