\r\n Our vision <\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Whatever their background, all children should have access to a high-quality education. Yet all too often learning and teaching take a one-size-fits-all approach. This means that children are unable to make the most of their learning potential. Our goal is a world in which every child is given the quality learning opportunities they need to <\/span>thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

\r\n Our strategy <\/h3>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

To bring us closer to our vision, we\u2019ve launched Strategy 2030, with a central focus on ensuring that evidence shapes how children learn \u2013 whether in schools or through technology.<\/p>\n

We accomplish this by providing funding for research aimed at understanding how children learn and vary in their skills and behaviors. Additionally, we work to facilitate the incorporation of evidence in national policies and their implementation in several countries.<\/p>\n

We have committed CHF 500 million to bring our ambitions to life, collaborating with world-renowned researchers, educators, and visionary policymakers in Switzerland, Ghana, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, and Colombia to make this vision a reality for every child.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

Our desired impact<\/h2>\r\n

Positive change in education is not possible without a deep understanding of learning processes, an extensive understanding of learning places and technologies, and an accurate understanding of policy making and implementation processes \u2013 from preschool to parliament. If we are successful in achieving this, we will make a meaningful contribution to children\u2019s learning outcomes by 2030 and beyond. We are committed to sharing what we learn on this journey to actively stimulate and inspire systemic change beyond our reach.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
