Scenario 2: Governments Lead Education Progress explores a future where governments take the lead in driving sustainable education reform, while philanthropy shifts from directing initiatives to strengthening public systems and supporting government-led priorities.
Co-edited by the International Education Funders Group (IEFG) and JustSystems, the publication brings together perspectives from government leaders, philanthropists and education practitioners on government ownership, systems change, long-term investment, collaboration and the role of philanthropy in achieving education progress at scale.
The scenario challenges funders to consider how they can support capable public institutions, align with national education priorities and build reforms that remain sustainable beyond individual projects and funding cycles.
