Innovations for Learning Recovery post-COVID: Call for applications (Up to $100,000 in Prizes)

The GSF Impact@Scale Labs aims to guide and support education organizations to expand their impact through scaling. At Impact@Scale Labs, we are seeking solutions that tackle the learning loss experienced by ECE, primary and secondary students in middle- and low-income countries.

When the pandemic hit us two years ago, it exacerbated challenges for global education. 1.7 billion (95%) children around the world were temporarily out of school, negatively impacting their learning and overall well-being. Therefore, we invite diverse applications that target students from ECE to secondary education.
