Elevating EdTech Investment: Prioritizing Evidence-Based Practices for Lasting Impact
Synopsis
The aim of this report is to contribute to the ongoing debate regarding funders and investors’ role in EdTech impact with a constructive and participatory outlook on what might be possible if researchers and investors collaborate on advancing EdTech’s impact on learners. As stakeholders navigate the intersection of education, technology, and investment, it becomes crucial to engage in constructive discussions that safeguard the integrity of research and ensure that evidence is not merely a tool to promote a specific agenda but rather a means to enhance the quality and effectiveness of education. Against this backdrop, this report provides suggestions for how, through direct engagement with researchers and research partners, investors could catalyse and improve EdTech’s impact on education.
