Description

The Department for International Development (DFID) is seeking to appoint an experienced and dynamic Directorate to design, manage and implement a £19.9 million multi-country research and Innovation Hub on Technology for Education. The EdTech Research and Innovation Hub will bring together experts in technology, education, research and innovation to answer the questions:
1. What works (and what doesn't work) to accelerate, spread and scale education technology interventions to deliver better learning outcomes for all children, including the most marginalised, in developing countries? and
2. Which education technology interventions present the greatest value for money and social return on investment?
The Hub will play an important part in DFID's larger strategic partnerships, particularly with the World Bank, exploring the impactful and equitable use of innovative technologies to benefit teaching and learning in developing countries.
