Data and Research in Education (DARE)

This is a notice of Contract Award for the following services to be delivered on behalf of the British High Commission, Islamabad.

To deliver outcome 2, the DARE programme's research SP will conduct high-quality research into key education policy issues and promising, innovative interventions. This will include the UK's signature issue of how to ensure all girls receive 12 years of quality education, improving teaching for better learning outcomes, and how to provide education to children affected by school closures during the coronavirus pandemic. Other issues of research interest include but are not exclusive to: how best to support inclusion of marginalised groups (including freedom of religious belief - FoRB) in the education sector; research into high-potential innovations in policy and practice which focus on the UK's key policy issues of improving teachers and teaching, strengthening systems, and supporting the most marginalised; and improving education system resilience in the face of the increasing impacts of climate change.
