Accelerating the Global Edtech Ecosystem

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unforeseen challenges for countries around the world. Large-scale, national efforts to utilize technology in support of remote learning, distance education and online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic have emerged and are evolving quickly. Donor agencies have been actively working with Ministries of Education in the MENA and Africa regions to provide support to maximize countries’ effectiveness in the design and execution of remote learning strategies.

Education 4.0 is a private sector-led initiative to streamline and accelerate current and potential education initiatives by convening the three largest actors that impact education – education technology companies, ministries of education and international donor agencies and creating a growth flywheel to accelerate the Edtech ecosystem and its impact on learning outcomes.
