Our Goals
The goals of the Centre are hinged on a three-pronged approach to advancing educational research and policy. These are:
- World-class research: The Centre seeks to undertake world class research and lead the debates on educational policies and programmes.
- Capacity building: The Centre offers the policy and programme community with clear research evidence and support in building the capacity of graduate students and early career researchers.
- Align Policy and Practice: The Centre contributes to the development of a research-based understanding of policy and practice in education.
Our Pillars
Our Research mission is to facilitate data-informed dialogue between academia, policymakers, practitioners and the community.
To ensure that our research initiatives are not just academic but also directly benefit the educational community and the broader policy environment.
The goal is also to raise awareness of key issues that may be overlooked or under-addressed. This is expected to lead to greater public and governmental attention.
