Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research

The Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research (Knowledge Network) establishes a collaborative partnership among the Ministry of Education, the University of Toronto and the University of Western Ontario.

The establishment and operation of the Knowledge Network will support the ministry's commitment to develop and implement policies, programs, and practices that are evidence-based, research-informed, and connected to provincial education goals. Systematic identification, widespread dissemination and consistent implementation of effective and promising practices is critical to meeting these commitments to high levels of student achievement, reduced gaps in performance, and increased public confidence in publicly-funded education.
