About Us

Welcome to Education Above All's Public Policy Observatory, it aims to be a knowledge hub for education research, policy and practice. The Observatory gathers valuable insights and promotes collaboration amongst the educators, policymakers and researchers. This empowers stakeholders with evidence-based information to make informed decisions that improve educational outcomes. While our research is at a global level, we emphasize the unique challenges and perspectives of the global south. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of policymaking, we navigate complexities with a commitment to uncovering nuanced solutions.

Unlocking Potential through Education

Education Above All (EAA) is a foundation founded in 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser. Its aim is to contribute to human, social and economic development through the provision of quality education. With a particular focus on those affected by poverty, conflict and disaster, it champions the needs of children, youth and women to empower them to become active members of their communities.

Our Vision

To be the central hub for all policy and educational stakeholders to share, learn, and advocate for human, social, and economic development through quality education.

Our Mission

The Public Policy Observatory illustrates context-specific research rooted in the Global South, empowering stakeholders to share knowledge, encourage learning, and advocate for quality education's transformative role.

Thinking Big

The challenge is immense, but it is matched by our positivity and determination. By pooling resources, forging partnerships and sharing innovative ideas, we are making huge strides forward. During the first six months of our operation, we reached 600,000 out of school children. Today, we have commitments to enroll 10.4 million out of school children.

Our projects span primary education, access and enrolment, higher education and wider concerns such as the health, wellbeing and basic rights. These are the issues that will support human development and offer people in need a chance to build a brighter future.

Observatory Network

The Observatory network is at a nascent stage with authors and contributors from Africa to Latin America. The network aims to be part of knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination and Capacity building.
