Building an independent, global resource for evidence-informed decision-making and implementation in education.
Building an independent, global resource for evidence-informed decision-making and implementation in education.
Education empowers people to realise their fullest potential and enables societies to flourish. We have a wealth of existing knowledge, evidence, data and best practices to guide policymakers and educators. But only a small portion of these costly and valuable resources are being used. Our low capacity to translate knowledge effectively into policy and practice means that scarce resources are often poured into ineffective institutions or practices, and deserving learners are denied opportunities.
Education.org was established to fill a significant gap: to make relevant knowledge and evidence transparent, accessible, and decision-ready for education leaders everywhere.
Our mission is to build resources for education leaders to reach each learner, by synthesising and translating an inclusive range of evidence. We enable these resources to be used by those who make education happen, by building bridges between knowledge actors, policymakers and practitioners.
In short: we bring the right content, to the right people, and facilitate its rightful use.
There is an urgency to act. 260 million children around the world are not in school. Six in ten – the majority of our children are not learning to basic proficiency level. Education reforms are failing to scale. The world is not on track to meet United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
To close the gaps in education access and quality across the world, we must strengthen policies and practices that reach every learner, unleash potential, and improve educational outcomes for the most marginalised young people around the world. Investing in critical infrastructure for synthesising, translating, accessing, and using relevant evidence will help us close these gaps.
We are an independent non-profit foundation established in 2019 by experienced education investors and practitioners. We are registered in Zurich, Switzerland, and establishing a presence through partners in Africa, the Middle East, North America and Europe.
Early stage investors and partners include Oak Foundation, Dubai Cares, Porticus, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Echidna Giving. With this visionary, early stage co-investor collective, and collaborators from leading institutions, we are growing partnerships with governments, agencies, NGOs, universities, businesses and foundations to address the fundamental gaps that create barriers to learning.
