Core Functions of the Centre

The Centre works with a range of actors — including innovation hubs, EdTech entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, educators, and learners — to support the effective and impactful integration of technology in education, including the development, deployment, and scale-up of promising EdTech innovations that boost learning and strengthen the education system.

The Centre's three core functions are to foster ICT innovations, share best practices and advance research, and convene stakeholders: system leaders, development partners, policymakers, innovators, EdTech entrepreneurs, teachers, private sector leaders, and global experts.
