This event is the first in the new ANGEL Research to Policy Webinar Series, which focuses on key issues identified by policymakers through GENE’s policy learning processes — offering insights, evidence, and dialogue grounded in real policy needs.

It draws on research carried out within the Global Education Time (GET) project, and examines key opportunities and challenges in implementing GCE strategies and related public policies, highlighting both common trends and country-specific dynamics.
