Dan Wagner, UNESCO Chair in Learning and Literacy at Penn GSE, director of the International Literacy Institute and director of the Program in International Educational Development,  received a $50,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for “Learning Equity: Translating measurement into outcomes.” Improvement in learning outcomes will require significant innovation in the measurement and achievement strategies that are required to directly address the UN Sustainable Development Goal on Education. The grant is designed to lay out an approach to remedy current limitations and includes three steps to improve learning among those most in need in developing countries by building new metrics and tools, pilot testing and refining these metrics and tools and implementation of learning equity strategy.
