In this second special episode recorded at the 2025 ADEA Triennale, we leverage the new global paper on effective reading instruction, launched at the Triennale to dive deeper into the imperatives for transforming evidence into policy actions that yield results in the classroom. The discussion explored how we know what the evidence says and how to transition from research outcomes into crucial policy actions that will yield classroom results.

Hosted by Johanna Koernig, Education Advisor at the FCDO Office in Ghana, the podcast features rich insights from leading education expert: Prof Kwame Akyeampong, Co-Chair of the Global Education Evidence Advisory Panel and Professor of international education and development at the Open University in the United Kingdom. The conversation explores practical lessons from the GEEAP literacy study and what they mean for policymakers, educators, and development partners committed to ending learning poverty.
