Throughout 2025, Labedu was intensely involved in the public policy agenda for continuing teacher training. It was a year of hard work, listening, collaborative development, and, above all, meetings. We close the year by thanking all the people and organizations who have been with us, in long-standing partnerships, one-off collaborations and new paths that have begun to be taken.
We continue to strengthen network performance as a principle. We are part of an ecosystem that dialogues, converges and adds efforts to enhance impacts.
At the international level, we deepen the interlocutions with the ProLEER/Harvard and with institutions of Chile, in addition to implementing collaboration with the EdCamp Ukraine, strengthening dialogues between research, civil society and public policies in different contexts.
In Brazil, we celebrate a new partnership with the NEES, we continue to contribute in spaces of dialogue with the MEC, especially in discussions about Early Childhood Education, and we work in collaboration with public networks of Maranhao and of Sao Paulo, in addition to starting a new implementation in municipalities of the Bahia. We also mobilised an important network of researchers and leaders from the third sector for the mini-course by Professor Paola Uccelli, from Harvard, articulating evidence and strategic implementation practices.
We closed the year by taking important steps in this direction. In the first half of the month, Labedu was among the organizations supporting the meeting promoted by Todos Pela Educação, which brought together, in Brasília, mayors of the country's largest cities and political leaders to discuss challenges, share municipal practices and strengthen a systemic, evidence-based educational agenda. Being in this space reinforces our conviction about the importance of cooperation between different entities and actors to advance the quality of public education.
Bringing the Brazilian perspective on education to the Latin American debate, we also participated in the Regional Meeting of the Movement for Reading Understanding, an articulation that brings together more than 400 civil society organizations committed to positioning literacy and reading comprehension as an educational priority.
Our principal Beatriz Cardoso was on a panel that discussed evidence and learning alongside professors Paola Uccelli, Emiliana Vegas (Harvard) and Pelusa Orellana (Universidad de los Andes - Chile). The conversation brought together perspectives from academia, implementation, and public policy to delve deeper into what's in our DNA: the ways scientific knowledge can transform into public policies for teacher training and classroom change.
We ended the year with the certainty that we moved forward together. We thank each partner, educator, manager, researcher, and institution that shared with us a commitment to public policies supported by evidence, dialogue, and collective construction.
