NORRAG WORKS WITH PUBLIC, PRIVATE, VOLUNTARY SECTORS AND ACADEMIA WORLDWIDE

Unlocking education quality and equity, one bold step at a time 

At NORRAG, we don’t just talk about transforming education—we help make it happen. We address under-researched questions of quality and equity in key issues in education and development, and amplify under-represented expertise, particularly from the Global South. As a global hub, NORRAG champions the democratisation of knowledge to ensure policy decisions in education are rooted in relevant evidence for impact and equity.

Turning emerging ideas into field-building action 

NORRAG has a proven track record of identifying future trends before others do. Long before data and innovative financing became major topics in global development, NORRAG was already paving the way. Today, we’re once again ahead of the curve—pioneering research and policy dialogue around localisation and knowledge equity, two forces set to reshape development worldwide. By spotting trends early and turning them into actionable agendas, we ensure that educational policy evolves with foresight, relevance, and inclusivity.

​

Global reach, local relevance 

With a vibrant, 6,000-strong network, with members spanning academia, civil society, governments, and the private sector—more than half from the Global South—NORRAG is a globally recognised thought leader in international cooperation for education. All of our publications, partnerships and initiatives serve our unwavering mission to make quality, equitable, accessible education not just a promise, but a global reality. ​
