Lucy Crehan, education author and former teacher, spent months visiting classrooms in countries and education systems that rank highest in the Programme for International Student Assessment (or PISA). She wanted to learn first-hand what teachers in these systems are doing differently for their students to perform so well. On this episode of TopClass, Lucy joins us to discuss her travels and the ways in which countries like Japan and Finland approach education.

What we can learn from classrooms in the world’s top-performing education systems

Last month, we were at the 2nd UN World Data Forum in Dubai. 

One of our sessions “New data sources for policy action: from dreams to reality”, organised in partnership with the Asian Development Bank, looked at how new data sources and new technologies are helping solve key policy issues.  

This is an audio cast of the session, taken from the video recording on the UNStats youtube page.
