Greetings! My name is Jeongmin Lee (pronounced juhng-min lee). I am a former elementary teacher, mixed-methods researcher, and World Bank policy advisor focused on foundational teaching and learning in resource-constrained settings. Throughout my career, I have worked to connect research with educational practice. I have directed eight externally funded studies as principal investigator and five more as co-principal investigator, with combined funding of nearly $7.9 million. My research is grounded in sustained fieldwork in Ghana, Malawi, and Rwanda, and my policy and program engagements span more than twenty countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. My aim is to generate evidence that helps schools and education systems improve teaching and student learning. Underlying this work is a belief that education can widen what is possible, especially for children whose futures depend most on whether systems deliver.
