World Education Launches EdTech Impact Advisory Group Comprised of Experts from Around the Globe

We are excited to announce the launch of the EdTech Impact Advisory Group, dedicated to promoting and supporting World Education’s vision of advancing digital equity in today’s increasingly tech-enabled world. The Impact Advisory Group will support World Education and its award-winning EdTech Center to expand its networks, launch new pilot projects, and benefit from thought partnerships from those outside of the organization who bring a fresh perspective and new ideas.
