Bridging Innovation & Tradition in K-12 Education

Description:

Well-funded and fast-moving EdTechs have disrupted the K-12 education ecosystem. Traditional education players – governments, schools, and curriculum providers – sense a momentum shift towards EdTechs in innovating the future of learning. This is changing the impact model while raising commercial and ethical tensions. Join this session to hear perspectives from a curriculum provider, a school system, and an EdTech scale-up on how we might adapt collaboration models for educational technologies to elevate learning standards and improve student outcomes.
