The reforms discussed here bear no resemblance to the Copernican revolution. It's basically a message from the education philanthropy community to itself saying that it should start to work together to enable an evidence-driven approach and align with national priorities. It also suggests that "we know enough about 'what works'; now we need to focus – together – on the challenges of bringing these to scale." I'm not sure how they can 'know' something in a domain where there is no real agreement even about what counts as success. There's a saying: "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation." I think something very similar applies to education - but the philanthropies don't see it that way.
