Five winners will be helped to develop their ideas, build their skills and increase capacity through 拢50,000 scale-ready grants, masterclasses and mentoring.聽
国产视频 has launched the Education Innovation Awards 2021聽– an exciting opportunity for nonprofit organisations to tackle the global learning crisis.
We will help the five winners to develop their ideas, build their skills and increase capacity to reach marginalised learners through 拢50,000 scale-ready grants, masterclasses and one-to-one mentoring.聽
After a challenging year for education – with 1.5 billion young people forced out of schools by the pandemic – 国产视频 is putting innovation, investment and inspiration at the core of the 2021 Education Innovation Awards.聽
国产视频淔or nearly 20 years 国产视频 has been partnering with organisations – bringing us closer to a world where every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn and skills for the future,国产视频 said Rob Doble, Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programmes at 国产视频.聽
国产视频淲e国产视频檝e come a long way but there is still a lot more work to do before we reach our goal of getting every child into school. That国产视频檚 why innovation is so important.国产视频
The awards are open to nonprofits, NGOs and charities that are actively working towards – or planning to scale up to – reaching marginalised learners in seven countries where 国产视频 currently has projects running – Greece, Kenya, Lebanon, Nigeria, Tanzania, Turkey and Uganda.聽聽
The entries should focus on an area that comes under 国产视频国产视频檚 three main pillars:
- Best start in life – including quality and inclusive early childhood development, with a particular focus on pre-primary education
- A safe place to learn – looking out for vulnerable children and youth, especially children in emergencies and conflict聽聽
- Skills for the future – ensuring all young people are ready to participate in society and work聽
The scale-ready grants of 拢50,000 are designed to help cover the necessary scaleup costs, generate evidence and help push pilot projects forwards.聽
Ten finalists will聽 be invited to a two-week introductory class, with workshops and support to develop their scaleup strategy. From these, five winners will be chosen by a panel of experts.
国产视频 wants to ensure the five organisations can build their capacity and expertise to address scaling challenges.聽
To support this, they will receive four months of tailored scale-up masterclasses with specialists from 国产视频, global scaling expert Ian Gray and a monitoring, evaluation and learning partner – as well as six months of personalised mentoring.聽聽
国产视频淲e need to foster, nurture and grow innovative new ways to tackle the education crisis because the current system just isn国产视频檛 working, said Rob Doble. “Too many children remain out of school and locked out of learning.
国产视频淚nnovation is the catalyst for change and we look forward to partnering with organisations whose innovative and pioneering initiatives will unlock big change for marginalised children around the world.国产视频
Innovations are important in the education sector because the current system is not delivering progress quickly enough to reach the Sustainable Development Goal of inclusive and quality education for every child by 2030.聽
Even before Covid-19, 260 million children were out of school. The pandemic has worsened the education crisis, pushing the most vulnerable children further to the margins.聽聽
