This month, Teach For All launched its first Global Community of Practice in Education Policy in Lima, Peru. The Community of Practice (CoP) brings together a group of 26 network alumni from 13 countries who are currently working in ministries of education, international think tanks, and non-profit organizations, where they lead initiatives in designing, implementing and influencing global and national education policy. The CoP was created to deepen the global network’s education policy knowledge, and accelerate local impact through strengthening collaboration, capacity, and learning across borders.

The members of the Education Policy CoP met for the first time in Lima, where they spent four days immersed in conversations about global and local education policy and leadership.

Throughout the next 12 months, the alumni will provide advice and support to each other as they focus on specific policy-related projects related to their work, in areas including parental and student involvement, teacher training and career pathways, expanding educational access, and education sector innovation. By exchanging ideas, challenges, and solutions, the CoP will strive to generate greater individual and collective impact.
