Magic happens when educators put children at the centre of what they do. I remember a session organized by RELI Kenya in July 2022 when children were invited to speak with educators, policy makers, parents, and school administrators. 

A full range of education practitioners and policy makers presented their most recent projects and educational innovations. They provided insights into the development and advancement of education policy, but it wasn’t until the children told us how they would be affected that real progress was made.
