What it's all about
Enabling Policymaking for Open Education
Open Education Policies are regulations and strategies, which foster the development and implementation of Open Educational Practices, including the creation and use of Open Educational Resources, by governments, institutions and other organisations. They allocate resources and orchestrate activities in order to increase access to as well as quality, efficiency and innovation of education.
The OE Policy Hub fosters collaborative policymaking by promoting good practices and high-quality resources, and bringing together experts, advocates and organisations from all over the world.
The heart of the hub is the Open Education Policy Registry*, an evolving database which collects and classifies Open Education Policy documents from all educational sectors and levels of governance around the world.
