About the project

Why innovation matters

The global education crisis is changing fast – and the challenges facing children are becoming more complex.Ìý

Conflict, poverty, climateÌýchangeÌýand exclusion continue to keep millions of children out of school or prevent them from getting a quality education. Meeting these challenges requires more than existing approaches alone. We needÌýnew ideas, newÌýpartnershipsÌýand new ways of delivering education that can reach children who areÌýbeing leftÌýbehind.Ìý

Across the world, localÌýorganisationsÌýare already developing promising solutions. But many lack the funding,ÌýsupportÌýand skills needed to grow their impact and reach more learners.Ìý

Our Approach

TheÌý¹ú²úÊÓÆµÌýEducation Innovation Awards help charities and non-profitÌýorganisationsÌýworking withÌýmarginalisedÌýlearners turn promising ideas into proven solutions.Ìý

SuccessfulÌýorganisationsÌýreceive five-figure grants,ÌýbespokeÌýmentoring and an intensive masterclassÌýprogrammeÌýdesigned to strengthen their systems, buildÌýorganisationalÌýcapacityÌýand helpÌýsupport sustainable growth.Ìý

By helping localÌýorganisationsÌýscaleÌýwhat works, we can ensure more children and young people get the education opportunities they deserve.Ìý
