Core Values: Quality & Equity through Innovation

Innovation is discovering new ways of doing things. This involves:

  • using new technologies to do what would not otherwise be possible through more traditional means, and
  • equally important, developing new understandings of established practices and systems and how these can be made to work better for the greater good, with or without new technologies.

At the heart of our drive to innovate is promoting quality and equity in learning through the three pillars of our programming: Education Transformation, Education for All, and Research and Policy Advocacy.
