Did you know that in Medellín, one of Colombia’s biggest cities, young students wear school uniforms inspired by sportswear? ⚽ Many families in the area cannot afford to buy school uniforms, so kids get their uniforms from schools or charities that support their education. 🎒 🇨🇴 Learn more about one of our core geographies, Colombia, in the Digital Museum of Learning's latest exhibition–Fabrics of Identity–which teachers can use to guide lessons and create interactive learning journeys! https://lnkd.in/ewJEfEaB #Education #Colombia #DigitalLearning #ELearning #Technology

We work to give every child the evidence-based education they need to thrive.
Info
Whatever their background, all young people should have access to a high-quality education. Yet all too often, programs and interventions designed to improve a child’s learning and education provide one-size-fits-all instruction and are not rooted in evidence. Founded by Klaus J. Jacobs in 1989, the Jacobs Foundation’s vision is a world in which every child is given the evidence-based learning opportunities they need to thrive. To move closer to this vision, our flagship Strategy 2030 has pledged 500 million Swiss Francs to improve children’s learning and education by promoting the generation and translation of evidence into policy and practice. We accomplish this by funding research to understand how children learn, promoting the use of evidence in school practice and EdTech, and supporting countries to integrate evidence into education policy and implementation. Strategy 2030 is underpinned by an ambitious Research Agenda designed to advance our scientific understanding of childhood variability – how children vary day-to-day in their skills and behaviors, how they differ from their peers, and how they live and learn in different environments. By furthering the science of how children vary over time and contexts, we aim to support policymakers and educators in embracing variability and providing evidence-based learning opportunities that serve more children, more often.

How can we use evidence to make better decisions? 🤔 🇨🇴 Andrea Escobar Vilá, CEO of Fundación Empresarios Por la Educación in Colombia, asked this question during our Annual Conference earlier this year. ⬇️ Listen and learn more about the use of evidence in Colombia, and how organizations such as Fundación Empresarios Por la Educación are solving these challenges. During our conference, we had a strong focus on all four of our core countries - Ghana, Switzerland, Colombia, and Côte d’Ivoire! Read more: https://lnkd.in/emGr_HAT #Colombia #Education #Evidence

Ein grosses Dankeschön an unsere wertvollen Kooperationspartner! 🌟 Dank ihrer Unterstützung steht der Schulleitungsmonitor Schweiz (SLMS) für viel mehr als nur eine Studie – er repräsentiert die Strahlkraft und Bedeutung, die dem Berufsstand der Schulleitungen in der Schweiz zugemessen wird. Diesen Herbst führen wir gemeinsam mit Prof. Pierre Tulowitzki und seinem Team der Pädagogische Hochschule FHNW die zweite landesweite Durchführung des SLMS durch. Es ist beeindruckend, dass alle 26 Kantone involviert sind und die Befragung in drei Sprachen durchgeführt wird. Mit dem SLMS schaffen wir die grösste Studie über Schulleitungen, die je in der Schweiz realisiert wurde. Unsere standardisierte Befragung ermöglicht wissenschaftlich fundierte Erkenntnisse und Vergleiche auf internationaler Ebene. Durch das Längsschnittdesign werden wir langfristig noch tiefere Einblicke gewinnen und gezielt die Schulleitungen unterstützen können. Wir sind stolz auf diese Zusammenarbeit und danken allen, die uns dabei unterstützen, das Berufsfeld der Schulleitungen weiter zu erforschen und zu stärken! #SLMS #Schulleitung #Zusammenarbeit #Bildungsforschung #FHNW #VSLCH #CLACESO #Dankbarkeit Grossen Dank für die Partnerschaft claceso Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana (SUPSI) Pädagogische Hochschule Bern (PHBern) Haute école pédagogique du canton de Vaud (HEP Vaud) HEP BEJUNE Vielen Dank für die grossartige Unterstützung Stiftung Mercator Schweiz und Jacobs Foundation Bildungs- und Kulturdirektion (BKD) Kanton Bern Bildungsdirektion Kanton Zürich Volksschulamt Kanton Zürich Erziehungsdepartement des Kantons Basel-Stadt Amt für Volksschule CIIP

I had the incredible opportunity to speak at the Science of Learning Symposium during the FLUX Congress in Baltimore, where I presented the Jacobs Foundation‘s new flagship programme, LEVANTE. LEVANTE builds on the Foundation's ongoing work to understand variability in learning and to foster a multidisciplinary, cross-sector research community that can drive impactful change in education policy and practice. It has been a privilege to share this initiative with such an impressive audience. I look forward to seeing how this collective effort will drive meaningful change in the field! #FLUX2024 #JacobsFoundation #LEVANTE #ScienceOfLearning #Researchtopractice #LearningVariability

In cocoa-growing communities, not all children may have had the chance to attend school, and others may have dropped out. But this can change. Bridging classes allow out-of-school children to catch up on key skills and rejoin the formal school system. Over the years, we have implemented bridging classes in cocoa-growing communities in Cote d’Ivoire and have seen their benefits firsthand: 🎒Support children’s right to quality education 🎒Reduce child labour (by half!) 🎒Ensure a protective school environment 🎒Increase local employment opportunities Explore our new Learning into Action brief to learn more about this intervention: https://bit.ly/4d30NJ9 Many thanks to the Jacobs Foundation for their support.

"At the Jacobs Foundation, we are excited to support International Finance Facility for Education (IFFEd) $1.5 billion initiative to address the dual challenges of inadequate funding and insufficient use of evidence in education," our co-CEO, Fabio Segura. 📣 At the United Nations Summit of the Future, UN Secretary-General António Guterres and UN Special Envoy Gordon Brown unveiled a new $1.5 billion investment aimed at supporting education and skill development for the world's most at-risk children and youth. 🎉 With this initiative, IFFEd seeks to tackle the severe global education crisis in the face of rising conflict, climate challenges, and humanitarian crises. It represents the largest single increase in education funding in decades. ✅ The Foundation is proud to support this initiative, and we call on other governments and foundations to join us in this bold effort to ensure that every child receives the evidence-based education they need to thrive: https://lnkd.in/eBBei5R3 #FinanceForEducation #Partnership #SummitOfTheFuture #Investing #Education Asian Development Bank (ADB), The Rockefeller Foundation, Atlassian, Theirworld, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Porticus, Sida
