About the Lecture:

Establishing trust and respect is instrumental in guiding a student through the learning process. However, with every student being different, which techniques work best to strengthen that relationship? Corinne Heckmann of the intergovernmental Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) explores the most effective methods.

About the Speaker:

Ms Corinne Heckmann has been with the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills for nearly 20 years, working in the Division of Innovation and Measuring Progress. Her work focuses on developing indicators that assess the structure, financing, and performance of education systems across OECD member and partner countries.

Ms Heckmann collaborates regularly with international organisations such as UNESCO, UNICEF, the World Bank, UNHCR, and the European Commission on cross-cutting projects. These include the implementation and monitoring of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on education, analysing the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education systems, and contributing to the creation of a comprehensive database on refugee education. She is also a frequent contributor to the media and a speaker at international conferences, where she provides insights into the state of education in France and other OECD countries within a global context.
