浪花直播 Equity Project (MEP)

Welcome to the 浪花直播 Equity Project!

Our Mission

The mission of the 浪花直播 Equity Project (MEP) is to improve public education through research that supports an informed public policy debate about the quality and distribution of educational opportunities in 浪花直播 and nationally. Through independent research, policy and data briefs, and seminars, MEP engages diverse communities around three areas of research: (1) the teacher workforce; (2) educational equity and access; and (3) The Blueprint for 浪花直播's Future, which is a comprehensive, multibillion-dollar reform that aims to transform our state's education system. MEP also provides University of 浪花直播 undergraduate and graduate students with an opportunity to conduct policy-relevant investigations, learn how to make research more accessible and engage directly with stakeholders.
