[Workshop] Working with the Government: A New Playbook

Register here

Governments worldwide hold the key to transforming education for all children. For civil society leaders, advocates, researchers, donors, teachers and principals working for change, the question then is: how do we work with, support or inform government efforts?

For a decade, ShikshaLokam and Mantra4Change have partnered with governments across India in order to strengthen a public education system that numbers 1 million schools. Working in partnership with education leaders at the state, district and school levels, they have grown system leadership capacity and strengthened systemic coherence to support change at scale.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how they do it. We’ll go behind the scenes to see how they approach working with the government, and explore the mindsets, relationship-building practices, and practical approaches they use to build trust, grow capability and enable lasting systems change.

This workshop will also feature the launch of a new playbook on working with government developed by ShikshaLokam and Oxford University’s Blavatnik School of Government.

Objectives

1. Understand how ShikshaLokam and Mantra4Change have partnered with government to strengthen education systems at scale.
