Summary:

"How do policymakers orient themselves in an era of surplus information? This insightful book presents a multidisciplinary investigation into the growing influence of knowledge brokers and how they utilize data to support education policy and planning. Contributors examine key actors' roles and strategies, contextual influences, and implications for equity and inclusion in the education sector, giving voice to experts in academia, institutional think tanks and intergovernmental organizations. Illustrating brokerage concepts through distinct cases, it demonstrates that institutional approaches are markedly different, and highlights the ways in which knowledge brokers have been repurposed to bring about social change, signalling a noticeable shift in the global discourse on education governance. The Rise of Knowledge Brokers in Global Education Governance is a valuable resource for researchers, analysts and planners in global governance, education policy and administration, international relations, political science and policy studies. It is also of interest to policymakers engaging with data and evidence in global education governance"-- Provided by publisher.
