Startups from all over the world joined in London for the 10th edition of the Global Edtech Startups Awards to address the future of education with a mix of creativity, vision, hope and candor. They tell collectively a fascinating story about how innovation in education can reshape our world and our minds. More than ever, for all of us,whatever the question, (more and better) education is the answer.
What if education despite all our efforts was still a “crescendo of discontent”? Are students of all ages prevented from learning as they wish? Are they frustrated in their intent to exceed their expectations? Passion, innovation and social engagement are three drivers to make the change happen.
