It helps identify pressing social issues and evaluate existing programs. Policymakers rely on findings from educational, economic, and social research to design policies tailored to address specific challenges. Furthermore, active collaboration between researchers and government bodies can lead to evidence-based approaches that enhance the impact of policies, ensuring they are effective and sustainable in the long run.
