Evidence-Based Curriculum Reforms for Transformative EducationIntroductionOver the last several years, researchers, government, and nonprofits in Kenya have collaborated to produce a rich body of evidence around education.Consolidating the lessons from this research and applying these to policy and practice is a major challenge for Kenya’s education sector—particularly during the ongoing national curriculum reform.In 2015, several policy, research, and government actors formed Education Evidence for Action (EE4A) with the aim of linking education evidence to education practice.
