Research
The IEE evaluates programmes and practices for early childhood settings, primary, and secondary schools, focusing in particular on literacy, numeracy, and science. We also conduct research on social and emotional learning, parenting, overcoming educational disadvange, and education in developing countries.
Our research work is of the highest quality, often randomised controlled trials. Our findings can provide reliable guidance for policy and practice.
Details of recent publications and conference presentations by IEE staff are also available.

Since 2009 the IEE has been working with the Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit (PRDU), on Education in Conflict and Emergencies.
