Key reality check:
➡️ 251M kids out of school
➡️ 44M teacher shortage by 2030
and we're still asking, "does this EdTech actually work?" 🤨

We're scaling marketing claims, not learning outcomes!

But Asyia Kazmi (Gates Foundation), Shaveta Sharma-Kukreja (Central Square Foundation), and Janhvi Maheshwari-Kanoria (Education Above All) aren't here for the feel-good metrics. They're calling for Equity, Evidence & Empowerment.

We can't afford to treat the SDGs like a zero-sum game. Every goal reinforces the others!
The global #philanthropic community is ready with grantmaking, catalytic capital, and long-term commitment.

Education isn't separate from other development goals. It's the foundation that makes them possible:
➡️ Climate resilience requires education
➡️ Gender equity advances through education
➡️ Economic growth depends on education
➡️ Health outcomes improve with education
