Empowering the next generation for a changing world
A collaborative effort across MIT, we address the most pressing needs in pK-12 education by harnessing our strengths in research, pedagogical innovation, policy direction, and technology development.
The Gap in Education
251 million kids are out of school
The latest UNESCO data shows that approximately 251 million children are out of school worldwide, an increase of 7 million since 2012. The regions with the highest rates of out-of-school children are also the lowest income, with 33% of young learners out of school. In high income countries, the rate is only 3%.
Our work
I believe MIT has a responsibility to prepare the next generation of creative innovators and problem solvers.
