The authors examine how the Center for Universal Education (CUE) interacted with its network of international partners to help accelerate educational progress. This analysis is aimed at summarizing how CUE uses its network and exploring what CUE staff believe to be key facilitators of their work. The authors reference data collected by CUE about the scope and nature of its collaborations with individuals and organizations during its BHP Foundation–funded work, coupled with insights from interviews with CUE staff. These findings may be relevant to the BHP Foundation, CUE, and other organizations that seek to engage networks of organizations and individuals to promote improvement in education systems.
CUE engaged in three primary workstreams as part of its BHP Foundation–sponsored work. Each workstream focused on a different aspect of global evidence-to-practice education work. The authors combine data from these three workstreams to make inferences about CUE’s network engagement activities as a whole.
