The latest session of the IOE Weekly Seminar Series on Education R&D brought together a premier cohort of academics to discuss findings from a massive School Barometer survey of education stakeholders that spanned a landscape as wide and diverse as Russia, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. The project outcomes suggest that Russian schooling is still not particularly good at nurturing in students the key ingredients of agency, such as independence, proactive thinking, and self-discipline.

On April 9, the fourth session of IOE’s Fast-track Seminar Series in Education R&D 2021 will feature an open expert talk titled, ‘Teaching TRIZ [Theory of Inventive Problem Solving] in Primary School: An Iranian Case Study.’

On March 25, a cohort of experts in various strands of higher education scholarship will meet online for this year’s second open session by the Observatory for Higher Education Transformations, an initiative to advance HE research and networking that spans IOE alongside a number of other leading academic hubs from across the globe. This time, the special theme of the session is, ‘Money Matters: University Finance in a Post-Pandemic Reality.’
