Education Research Program

Bringing social science to bear on local, national, and international educational challenges

Left to right: NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein, Katherine Wilde, and Rob Lytle attend SSRC-led meeting to discuss the need for a research consortium to collect performance data on the city's schools.

The Education Research Program is dedicated to the promotion of rigorous social science research on education informed by experts across disciplines and drawing on SSRC’s institutional history. This program is organized around two programmatic strands: 1) higher education access and success; and 2) evaluation and assessment of K-12 education.
