Program Overview
Program Overview
This 11-month program supports city and provincial governments in the Philippines to lead adaptive, inclusive, and evidence-informed reforms in the education sector. Led by the Education Governance Institute (EGI) of the Asian School of Governance, in partnership with the Bridging Leadership Institute and the Education Impact Lab, the program enables multi-sectoral teams to tackle persistent governance problems using Problem-Driven Iterative Adaptation (PDIA) and Bridging Leadership.
A key feature is the establishment of local Education Impact Lab chapters in partner schools of education, serving as hubs for coaching, innovation support, and institutional sustainability.
