EDUCATION MATTERS
Another highlight this year was the 11 th IEA IRC (see pages 72-75), held in Rome in partnership with INVALSI. The conference provided a welcome opportunity for the international research community to gather in person and share new findings, ideas, and approaches. The theme, Researching Education for Sustainable Futures , underscored the growing urgency of equipping young learners and education systems with the tools to meet complex and evolving challenges. The conference was also a strong reminder of the value of IEA data in advancing research that is both globally informed and locally meaningful. Also released during the IRC, a major milestone this year was the publication of the updated IEA Technical Standards , reflecting over 25 years of methodological innovation and development. These standards reinforce our commitment to scientific integrity and transparency, and help ensure our studies remain reliable over time. Throughout this issue of the IEA Insider , you will find updates and reflections that showcase the breadth of IEA’s work: from technical advancements and new study cycles to national contributions and capacity-building efforts. Together, they reinforce our shared commitment to evidence-informed education that serves not just systems, but the people within them. We thank all our partners, staff, international and national study centers, and collaborators for their continued trust and engagement. Your work matters . We hope you enjoy reading this year’s IEA Insider . ■
