Apply Now: $170,000 for Educational Technology Innovation Awards

The educational ecosystem is in constant flux. New innovations are introduced, tested, and scaled. External shocks, like the coronavirus pandemic then upend the status quo and rearrange success metrics. In this continuum of change, governments look for signals for what works, and what doesn’t in education systems.

Technologies have a great potential to enhance teaching, learning and expand access to quality education. According to the ITU, about 95% of the global population live in regions with at least a basic 2G mobile-cellular network. It means that almost anyone with a connected device can benefit from educational technology solutions.
