Education systems need stronger approaches to assessing the implementation and impact of policies and ensure that scientific evidence informs decisions and practices. The EU-funded INTEGRED project is developing an integrative evaluation framework that combines different approaches to causality, balancing scientific rigour with contextual understanding. Piloted across six European countries, the framework will assess preventive education measures such as tutoring, inclusive teaching and delayed tracking. It will also strengthen institutional capacity for using evidence. By working closely with policymakers and practitioners, INTEGRED also aims to promote sustainable evaluation cultures and improved evidence governance. Overall, the project supports the design and scaling up of educational policies with reliable and context-sensitive knowledge.
