Financing the Education Gap in Emerging Markets
Financing the Education Gap in Emerging Markets
Tuesday 11th May, 2-3pm BST.
Held in partnership with Paysend

As we look towards a post-COVID future, education has to be at the forefront of the recovery agenda. The education gap in emerging markets has been widened by the pandemic and significant investment is required to enable quality learning for all.
The role of technology in providing access to education to the most vulnerable communities has become increasingly clear, but what are the gaps in ensuring quality education?
Governments around the world are seeing their resources stretched as they focus on economy boosting measures, so we want to explore innovative digital platforms that can be used to contribute to and finance this development priority.
Bringing together a panel of experts, we discussed the immediate need to bridge the education divide and explored various efficient financial instruments which can help achieve universal quality education.
