Our
Story
Burning Questions (BQ) is a student-led initiative that aims to collect and propose the questions of actors in education (students, teachers, researchers, community members) from around the world and work together to find solutions and push the boundaries of what is known and understood about education. Our annual event, typically held in mid-January, is an opportunity for participants to develop ideas into solutions and practical actions to change at a community or wider societal level through practical ‘workshop’ style sessions in dialogue with academics, entrepreneurs, government administrators and NGOs.
