World Education Reform Database
The World Education Reform Database describes 10,000+ education policy changes reported by 180+ countries to international organizations, among other sources. The project, led by education policy scholars Patricia Bromley and Rie Kijima, focuses on “systemic reforms that envision a supra-school administrative level and aim to impact the wider education system, rather than small projects that target individual schools.” The database lists each reform’s country, year, name, and summary. Although some of the reforms in the database were introduced hundreds of years ago, the vast majority occurred in the last 50 years.
