Éducation
En 2025, J-WEL a rejoint J-PAL après dix années fructueuses en tant que laboratoire indépendant au MIT, collaborant avec des innovateurs éducatifs du monde entier pour transformer l’éducation à grande échelle. En plus de soutenir nos travaux de recherche et de politique en éducation, J-WEL appuie nos partenariats entre la recherche et les politiques publiques avec les gouvernements ; le programme de bourses MENA Scholars ; l’Alliance pour les données, l’évaluation et la formation en politiques publiques ; ainsi que le Partenariat pour les preuves en intelligence artificielle.
Le secteur Éducation de J-PAL aide les décideurs politiques à appliquer les résultats d’évaluations aléatoires à leurs travaux. Les responsables et membres du secteur rédigent également des synthèses politiques qui regroupent les enseignements généraux issus de la recherche, condensent les résultats des évaluations dans des publications politiques et des résumés d’évaluation, et financent de nouvelles recherches via l’Initiative Apprendre pour Tous.
Les initiatives passées du secteur Éducation incluent l’Initiative pour l’éducation post-primaire et l’Initiative Fondements de l’apprentissage.
