Education systems are complex. They are comprised of interdependent components: people (teachers, students, parents, administrators) often with different and sometimes opposing priorities, inputs (curricula, books, schools), and processes.

A system transformation approach recognizes this complexity and prioritizes bold reforms that accelerate education progress beyond business as usual, supporting large-scale and sustainable change for the benefit of a large number of children, including the most marginalized.

This approach shifts the focus from sector-specific interventions towards addressing the root causes of the barriers to equitable learning, acknowledging these sometimes lie beyond the sector.
