Full text of the remarks by GPE Board Chair Julia Gillard at the Education World Forum in London on January, 24, 2018. She responded to the question: "How should we develop policy in a fast changing, increasingly technology influenced world?"

As in other areas of policy development, the solution starts with an evidence based plan, which is owned by all the stakeholders and the community. Working with developing countries to get their plans for education right and then helping fund their delivery is at the heart of the work of the Global Partnership for Education.

In summary - GPE helps countries to diagnose access and learning needs, adopt clear goals and targets, and establish appropriate budgets, action plans, and monitoring. GPE’s aim is not only to support the design of robust, costed, high quality education sector plans – but also to get everyone to align behind them.
