From Evidence to Action: Advancing Education Policy and Practice in Pakistan
Join us for the DARE-RC International Education Summit 2026, taking place on 31 October–1 November 2026 at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore, Pakistan.
The 2026 Summit signals a key shift from evidence dissemination to action: consolidating DARE-RC evidence, drawing out cross-cutting lessons, and identifying priorities for policy reform, scaling, and future research.
Designed for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, funders, and education leaders, the Summit will focus on one central question: how can evidence drive inclusive and resilient education reform in Pakistan?
The Summit will focus on three priorities:
Synthesis: what has DARE-RC evidence taught us?
Influence: where has evidence shaped policy and practice?
Action: what should be prioritised next?
The Summit will help turn evidence into priorities, partnerships, and practical next steps for education reform.
DARE-RC is Pakistan’s largest education research programme, generating rigorous, actionable evidence to improve education policy and practice.
DARE’s 44 research studies and scoping papers
offer critical insights on:
Inclusion & social justice
Effective teaching & pedagogical reform
Climate resilience in education
Governance, management & data-driven decision-making
