Love empowers children to believe that they can make a positive difference. When children feel loved and supported, they are more likely to feel confident in their ability to effect change. Teaching sustainability with an emphasis on love can empower children to become active participants in creating a better future.

A foundation of sustainability supports a curriculum designed to help students become global citizens in several key ways. It equips students with the awareness, skills, and values necessary to contribute to a more sustainable and just world, fostering a sense of global responsibility and interconnectedness.

Simply put - a large majority of schools in the Global South lack sufficient textbooks, which represents a critical challenge but also a tremendous opportunity for transformative change through blended learning. Implementing this model can effectively bridge the gap between the scarcity of physical educational resources and the growing availability of digital solutions. Here’s how this could be achieved:

The global EdTech industry is replete with mission statements promising to make the world a better place through education. Yet, the reality often starkly contrasts with these lofty ideals. The industry predominantly serves the wealthiest 1% of schools, driven by profit motives that neglect the vast majority of the global student population. This article calls for a deep reflection on our mission and vision, urging EdTech companies to realign their actions to serve a broader and more inclusive audience. Using Urban Green Education as the central provider, with Lincoln Learning Solutions and Agilix Labs as partners, we explore how a mission-driven approach can create lasting and impactful change.

99% of the global #EdTech industry exists to serve only the rich schools or 1% of the global market. Many people in this industry make very comfortable salaries (you may be one of them) and the investors do quite well... but, what if? What if we tried to do just a bit better? Imagine the good we could do...

Imagine a world where every child, regardless of where they were born, had access to the same high-quality education. A world where economic birthright did not determine one's educational opportunities, and where the riches of knowledge and resources were shared equitably across the globe. What if we truly cared about the 99% of schools in the Global South that are currently excluded from participating in the modern educational world due to poverty? Here's how much better our world could be if we embraced this inclusive vision.

In the landscape of global education, standardized testing has often been heralded as the benchmark for excellence. Yet, this metric, especially prevalent in the educational systems of the Global South, is increasingly criticized for its limitations and commercial exploitation. Rather than equating high test scores with genuine learning, there's a growing realization that this approach might actually detract from educational quality. This article delves into the profound issues associated with standardized testing, critiques the involvement of big educational companies, and offers hopeful solutions to reshape the future of international education.

By incorporating these aspects of sustainability into science education, students can develop a deeper understanding of the scientific principles governing our environment and gain the skills necessary to contribute to sustainable solutions. This approach fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and a sense of responsibility towards the planet.

In the heart of Jakarta's sprawling urban slum, Sari attended a modest local school that lacked even the most basic resources. Textbooks were shared and tattered, and classrooms were overcrowded and underfunded. Despite these conditions, Sari’s curiosity was boundless. Her parents, though struggling financially, encouraged her thirst for knowledge, telling her stories of educated individuals who transformed their lives through learning.

Imagine a student named Sari, a bright girl living in an urban slum in Jakarta, Indonesia. Sari has recently gained access to world-class digital educational materials, transforming not only her academic life but also having profound ripple effects on her family, community, and potentially, her country…
