Advancements in the science of learning now allow for more precise measurement of contextual improvements in learning outcomes. EdTech entrepreneurs, driven by investors, are increasingly adopting valid methods to gauge these improvements. However, focusing solely on short-term learning outcomes often overlooks the broader social impact being targeted. For example, engaging parents in understanding their children’s growth can create more lasting solutions. By incorporating strategic metrics beyond immediate learning outcomes, companies can develop differentiated products that better address underlying social issues such as access, quality, and relevance.
This session will address how educational interventions can be more impactful by aligning with broader social goals like SDG4. Join us to explore comprehensive strategies for measuring impact that encompass the full spectrum of educational and social benefits, ensuring more meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
