Policy has the potential to drive meaningful change, but its impact greatly depends on well-considered planning and execution. Neil Butcher recently sat down with TJ Bliss to discuss the factors that contribute to policy success and failure. Drawing on his experience in working with governments around the world to develop and implement education policy, Neil addresses some of the common challenges he has encountered along the way. He also provides insights into the elements that good policies contain, highlighting the importance of simplicity, accountability, and aligning policy objectives within the broader policy framework and national context.
