Conference: Quality in Education

How can we improve the quality of education and make it more accessible? What is quality in education? How can teachers, school leaders and policymakers improve the quality of education while at the same time addressing issues of educational equity? These are some of the key questions addressed at this conference.

She is familiar with education in the Nordic countries from research stays in Uppsala, Oslo, Helsinki and Stockholm.

The afternoon keynote will be delivered by Dr. Matthew Kraft, Associate Professor in Education and Economics at Brown University. Dr. Kraft's research focuses on educational policy, with a particular emphasis on the role of teachers and school leadership in improving educational outcomes, and how policies can improve teacher hiring, professional development, evaluation, and working conditions.
